INTRODUCTION

WELCOME!

Luxman welcomes you to the growing num-
ber of discerning audiophi/es who own and
operate Luxman Audio and Audio-Video
Products. We take great pride in the long
tradition of excellence in sonic quality that the
Luxman name represents. This manual has
been prepared to help you to maximize your
enjoyment of the outstanding performance
and features of your new Luxman 0-03.

The Luxman C-03 stereo preamplifier, as the
control center of your sound reproduction
system, employs some of the most refined
and advanced technology available to
achieve Luxmans constant quest for sonic
quality.

WHEN YOU OPEN THE BOX

Before any Luxman product leaves the factory it is
carefully inspected for physical imperfections as a
routine part of Luxmans systematic quality control.
This, along with full electrical testing, should insure
quality craftsmanship and performance. After you
have unpacked the unit, inspect it for any physical
damage. Save the shipping carton and all packing
materials, as they are essential to reduce to a mini-
mum the possibility of transportation damage, should
the product ever need to be shipped again. In the
unlikely event that damage has occurred, notify your
dealer immediately and request the name of the car-
rier so that a written claim to cover shipping damages
can be initiated,

THE RIGHT TO ANY CLAIM AGAINST A PUBLIC CAR-
RIER CAN BE FORFEITED IF THE CARRIER IS NOT
NOTIFIED PROMPTLY AND IF THE SHIPPING CARTON
AND PACKING MATERIAL ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR
INSPECTION. SAVE ALL PACKING MATERIALS UNTIL
THE CLAIM HAS BEEN SETTLED.

To realize the exceptional performance for
which this preamplifier is capable, it is neces-
sary that all signal sources, power amplifiers
and speaker systems used with it are of the
highest sonic quality. We recommend
complementary Luxman components wher-
ever possible.

Please study this manual carefully and
become acquainted with all features, opera-
tion and capabilities of your new Luxman
C-03. Should you have any questions, or
desire information on other Luxman
products, please contact your local Luxman
dealer.

INSTALLATION AND PLACEMENT

Because some heat is generated by the 0-03, adequ-
ate air circulation must be provided to maintain cool
operation. Leave adequate space around the
preamplifier (at least 3 inches on the top and 1 inch on
the sides and rear) for proper air circulation. Also, the
Luxman C-03 should not be completely enclosed with
other heat producing components. If the Luxman
C-03 is going to be mounted in an enclosed cabinet, it
is recommended that the back of the cabinet have
vents to allow air to circulate around the preamplifier.
With these considerations implemented, the Luxman
C-03 should provide exceptional performance in any
reasonable environment.

Of course, such normal considerations as protection
from excessive dust and moisture should always be
observed. The Luxman C-03 preamplifier has been
carefully designed with high quality components so
that long term undiminished performance may be
expected when it is operated in accordance with the
instructions provided.
