Thank you for purchasing the Destiny 2 Integrated Amplifier. You are now in possession of a State of the Art integrated amplifier. The functions and
operation of the Destiny 2 are very simple. However, the following notes are provided to explain all aspects of its design and use. Your Destiny 2
amplifier is designed to give you years of reliable use. If you need more assistance, it is always advisable to go back to the supplying dealer for his expert
help. If you are unfortunate enough to need service work to be carried out, the amplifier should be returned to your dealer in the original packing
material if possible.
The Destiny 2 amplifier is designed to work properly in normal domestic operating conditions. However, the amplifier's performance may be affected if
sited near to a radio transmitter such as a mobile phone etc. Re-siting the Destiny 2 amplifier or the radio transmitter will normalise the situation.
MAINS CONNECTION
After unpacking the Destiny 2 amplifier please keep the packing material in a safe place for possible future use. In the pack there is a separate mains
cable suitable for connecting to the mains supply in the country of use, stored in the cardboard inset section. The IEC socket end of the cable should be
firmly inserted into the connector on the rear panel marked "Mains Input".
Remember - do not overload the mains wall socket with too many plugs or adaptors. The high quality performance of the amplifier will be impaired if
the electrical supply to it is in poor condition. The "Mains Input" connection is also fitted with a fuse, specifically suited to the supply voltage of the
country of use. The correct value is clearly marked on the rear panel next to the Mains Input. Should it be necessary to replace the mains fuse, ensure
that you use the same type as specified on the rear panel, i.e. 5 x 20mm size, glass bodied cartridge type:
T 3.15 Amp surge resisting for 220-240V 50Hz AC,
T 6.3 Amp surge resisting for 110-120V 60Hz AC
T 8 Amp surge resisting for 100V (Japan)
POWER CONSUMPTION
It is appreciated by Hi-Fi enthusiasts that leaving equipment powered-up continuously can improve the performance. However, this small improvement
in sound quality comes at the expense of higher power consumption from the mains which will not only cost more but will also reduce the working life of
the Destiny 2.
We recommend that if the equipment is not being used that you press Standby, which will reduce the consumption to less than 1 Watt. If the
equipment is not used for an extended period of time, it should be switched off from the mains switch on the rear panel or wall socket. Normal performance
can be achieved in a short period of time after switch-on.
POSITIONING
To obtain the best results, make sure the Destiny 2 amplifier is placed on a stable shelf or Hi-Fi equipment rack such as the Creek AR4. It is important to
allow adequate ventilation to the heat-sink in the centre of the amplifier, so avoid obstructing the ventilation slots on the top and bottom of the case. It
will be necessary to place the amplifier on its own shelf or the top of other equipment to allow for this.
OPERATING THE DESTINY 2 AMPLIFIER (QUICK SET-UP)
After first unpacking your amplifier, make sure the voltage matches the specification of the amplifier. There is a voltage selector switch on the underside
of the case. Turn the volume control to minimum (counter clockwise) when switching on and off to avoid sudden loud noises. Connect your source
component (CD player or Tuner) to one of the Line inputs on the back of the amplifier using a good quality stereo interconnect with RCA plugs at each
end. Right channel is on the bottom row of the RCA sockets. Connect both left and right speakers to the terminal posts on the back panel. Plug the mains
connector into the socket on the rear of the amplifier and into a suitable mains socket on the wall of your listening room. Switch on the power to the
amplifier using the switch next to the mains plug on the rear panel. 1 is ON and 0 is OFF. A blue LED will light above the Standby button. Press the Standby
button and the amplifier will wake up. The Standby LED will go off. The amplifier will now be ready to work. Select some music from the source and turn
the volume up to listen.
COMPREHENSIVE SET-UP
INPUT CONNECTION AND SWITCHING
The push button switches on the left-hand side of the front panel marked Input are used to select and listen to any of the desired inputs and switch the
pre-amp from passive to active. To select an input, press the up or down button to sequence through five inputs until you reach your choice, indicated
next to the blue LED that is lit. The separate button marked Tape overrides the other inputs, to allow the Destiny 2 to monitor the output of a tape
recorder. This can also be done by remote control.
The AV Direct input provides a signal straight to the power amp and can be used with a surround sound processor. This input caters specifically for those
people who are more than happy with their AV solution, but not happy with the stereo option. To connect from a processor, it is necessary to run an
interconnect cable from the front pre-amp output to the AV Direct input. The Destiny 2 then becomes a standalone power amplifier for front speaker
use in a 5.1 system. When the AV Direct input is selected in this configuration, the signal level of the Destiny 2 is no longer controlled by its volume knob.
It should be noted that when in AV Direct configuration, neither the Tape nor Active options can be used.
As all the line input sensitivities including Tape are the same, it is not necessary to use the precise input as described with the exception of AV. You may, for example,
plug a CD player into the Tuner input and obtain exactly the same result and performance as the dedicated CD input. However, for added flexibility, the first input
(Aux1) on the Destiny 2 amplifier can be configured either for Phono or Auxiliary line. To connect a turntable, it is necessary to first have an optional Creek Sequel
Phono plug-in board fitted. Alternatively Creek Audio produces the OBH-15 and OBH-18 stand alone Phono pre-amplifiers, plus the 'high end' Wyndsor Phono pre-
amplifier, that should be connected to the Aux 1 input. Please check with your dealer. You can also write to [email protected] for further information.
