Unpacking  
Connection tips  
Unpacking system components  
!
Keep the original carton and packing materials for future  
shipment or storage.  
!
It is recommended that the Cinénova-IR16 and the source  
equipment be plugged into a dedicated 20-amp circuit with an  
isolated ground.  
! Check for any visual signs of damage. If you encounter any  
concealed damage, consult your Earthquake Sound dealer  
before proceeding with unit installation.  
!
!
Disconnect all live power cords before making connections to the  
remote gain.  
! Retain the sales receipt as it established the duration of the  
limited warranty and provided information for insurance  
purposes.  
Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent  
humming from induced noise.  
! Choose reliable signal cables cords (Earthquake Sound also  
Cinénova-IR16 included components  
• 1 Power cord  
specializes in high-performance RCA cables and patches).  
• 8 Remote controls  
! All speaker wires that are ran through the walls should be twisted  
• 8 Keypads (wallplates not included)  
• 8 Phoenix speaker terminals  
• 8 Phoenix pad connectors  
• 1 16-channelAmplifier  
type to reduce potential hum noise pick up.  
! Label both ends of all wires with the corresponding room  
location.  
! It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power the  
amplifier. Lack of input ground reference could be unsafe.  
Consult with your electrical contractor about proper grounding.  
System installation considerations  
There are several factors to consider before installing the Earthquake  
Sound Cinénova-IR16 system.  
• What are the intended listening zones?  
• What system options and accessories might be required for  
features such as local sources, etc.?  
• From where in each zone will the listener prefer to control the  
system? Where will the remote gains be located? Where will the  
speakers be located?  
• Where will the source equipment be located?  
Note: The Cinénova-IR16 must have adequate ventilation above and  
below for air circulation and heat dissipation. In addition, rack mount  
locations may require fans and vents.

Eightindividualpowersupplies:  
Rack mountable:  
This amplifier is designed to conveniently mount in commonly  
The Cinénova-IR16 is designed with 8 individual power  
supplies(bifilar) for power isolation, accuracy and better channel  
separation.  
used racks.  
Peak LEDindicators:  
110VAC and220VAC selectable:  
The Cinénova-IR16 is equipped with 16 LED indicators on the  
front panel. They show the operating status of each channel; the LEDs  
will illuminate when the maximum recommended output is exceeded.  
If an LED is illuminated the majority of the time, it indicates that the  
corresponding channel is over-driven (clipped). The input to the  
channel must be reduced to eliminate distortion and eventually,  
damages tothe amplifier.  
The Cinénova-IR16 is factory preset to 110-120VAC. However,  
it can also be set to accommodate 220-240VAC by Earthquake  
authorized technician(s)/dealer(s).  
Remote zonecontrol:  
Each of the eight possible zones can be controlled by a wireless  
IR remote control. Each remote has the ability to control volume’s  
up/down level, mute and also repeat the IRsignal toother sources.  
Thermal protection:  
Each channel is equipped with a thermal sensor designed to  
shut the amplifier down when it overheats. Overheating is not typical. It  
only occurs if the amplifier is over driven with low impedance speakers,  
or if the amplifier is located in an improperly ventilated space.  
Bus input:  
This feature simplifies installation by consolidating several  
channels for one source. Simply plug the input source RCAs into the  
BUS input on the unit. Then switch the input source selector to BUS for  
as many channels are connected tothe corresponding input source.  
Individuallyselected andmatched components:  
Components used to construct the Cinénova-IR16 are  
subjected to an exhaustive selection process; during which, the  
components are matched and individually tested to exact tolerance.  
The multi-layer, glass-epoxy, double sided printed circuit boards  
exceed the standard stringent requirements by 50%.  
Bridgeablefunction(minimumimpedance =4-ohm):  
The Cinénova-IR16 delivers up to 8-zones, and can be bridged  
into several different configurations forhigher power rooms.  
4 or8-ohmcompatible:  
8-Zones:  
Since speakers are manufactured in several different  
impedance ratings, Earthquake Sound’s Cinénova-IR16 amplifier is  
designed tobe 4 and 8-Ohm compatible.  
The Cinénova-IR16 delivers up to 8-zones, and several other  
room combinations tobetter suite the your needs.

Earthquake Sound  
Troubleshooting and Maintenance  
Troubleshooting  
Maintenance  
The following routine maintenance should be performed on a periodic  
basis:  
Humming noise from speakers.  
Often humming noise is emanating from equipments that  
have their ground prong broken.  
?Clean the exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.  
?Do not use alcohol, benzene, acetone-based cleaners, or strong  
commercial cleaners.  
?Do not use a cloth made with steel wool or metal polish.  
?If the unit is exposed to a dusty environment, a low-pressure  
blower may be used to remove dust from its interior & exterior.  
a) With the amplifier OFF, unplug all RCAs connected to the  
amplifier.  
b) Turn on amp and listen to speakers.  
If buzz has changed or reduced in level, then the problem  
is coming to the amp from another source. The rest of the  
hum you hear is normal and related to the fact that the  
RCAs are open ended and not connected to any thing.  
c) If above steps do not isolate your problem: star-ground all  
components except amplifier from their chassis to the  
processor.  
Front LEDs are ON all the time  
It is normal when running the amplifier to full power that the LEDs  
flicker. If you see that the LEDs are on constantly without  
flickering (solid orange) it means that the amplifier is clipping.  
Reduce volume level toprevent damage tothe unit.  
Turn amplifier ON and circuit breaker shuts down  
This can either be a short in amp or poor circuit breaker in the  
house. Plug amplifier into another outlet on a different circuit  
breaker with nothing connected. If the amp turns on then the  
problem is with your home circuit breaker. If the amplifier still does  
not power up, please call Earthquake toconsult with a technician.  
If you are still stuck...  
1. Contact an authorized Earthquake Dealer.  
2. Contact Earthquake Sound Customer Service at 800-576-7944
