CHAPTER 1
SETTING UP
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Your ADAT-XT20 was packed carefully at the factory. The shipping carton was
designed to protect the unit during shipping. Please retain this container in the
highly unlikely event that you need to return the XT20 for servicing.
The shipping carton should contain the following items:
• ADAT-XT20 with the same serial number as shown on shipping carton
• Power Cable
• Optical Cable
• XT20 remote control unit
• This instruction manual
• Blank S-VHS ST-120 cassette
• Alesis warranty card
✪
It is important to register your purchase; if you have not already filled out your
warranty card and mailed it back to Alesis, please take the time to do so now.
AC POWER HOOKUP
With the XT20 off, plug the female end of the power cord into the XT20’s
[POWER INPUT] socket and the male (plug) end into a source of AC power. It’s
good practice to not turn on the XT20 until all other cables are hooked up.
The XT20 works with any AC voltage from 90 to 250 volts, 50 to 60 Hz. This
eliminates the need for transformers or voltage switches. Your XT20 was
supplied with the correct power cord for your country or local area, however
only the following alternative power cords are approved for use with ADAT:
• For 90-120 VAC 50/60 Hz operation in the US, Canada and/or Japan,
use Alesis UL/CSA power cord #7-41-0001.
• For 240 VAC 50 Hz operation in England, use Alesis Power cord #7-41-
0004.
• For 220 VAC 50 Hz operation in Europe and Scandinavia, use Alesis EU
power cord #7-41-0002.
• For 240 VAC 50 Hz operation in Australia, use Alesis AS power cord #7-
41-0003.
The XT20’s IEC-spec AC cord (do not substitute any other AC cord) is designed to
feed an outlet that includes three pins, with the third, round pin connected to
ground. The ground connection is an important safety feature designed to keep
the chassis of electronic devices such as the Alesis ADAT - XT20, BRC and AI-1
at ground potential. Unfortunately, the presence of a third ground pin does not
always indicate that an outlet is properly grounded. Use an AC line tester to
determine this. If the outlet is not grounded, consult with a licensed electrician.
