frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver

sounds better than anything in its price range. No easy task, but our team accepted
the challenge and set out on a mission to completely re-imagine nova from the
ground up. The team poured their heart and soul into every detail, no stone was left
unturned and we hope you enjoy using nova as much as we enjoyed creating it!

uncompressed audio, high-resolution audio and ultra-high resolution audio. The
nova accepts them all! Built around the DAC chip is an extensive, multi-point,
regulated power supply that keeps the DAC chip operating optimally and remaining
faithful to the input signal, providing the most natural sounding and musical DAC
section we have ever designed!

back into the LOOP INPUT connectors on the nova. Improper wiring or use of this feature
may result in no audio when the loop is engaged. When the loop is disengaged, the circuit
is completely bypassed to shorten the audio signal path and minimize potential interference.

puter, you may have to repeat some of the steps above. This is typical.
Other useful tips...
For the best sound when listening to music from your computer, set your computer and mu-
sic program volume controls to maximum and use the nova volume knob or remote control
as the master volume control.
For critical listening to music from your computer, avoid keeping multiple programs open. It
can compromise the sound quality and even cause signal dropouts.
Provide adequate ventilation above the nova so it can “breathe.”
Please check www.peachtreeaudio.com periodically for additional tips and articles.

Be sure your input source is powered on and
playing at a reasonable volume level. Disengage
the loop function to see if that resolves the
issue. Double-check the connections on the rear
panel.
The remote control does not work
Check the remote control batteries by removing
the cover on the back trying new ones. Make
sure the remote control has a clear “line of sight”
to the sensor on the front panel. Check that no
powerful light sources, like direct sunlight, is
interfering with the sensor on the front panel.
