The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important installation, operation, and service instructions in this manual.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltages within the enclosure that may be of sufcient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to the user.
Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install, congure, or operate the Sherbourn
SR-8100. After successful installation and conguration of the SR-8100, be sure to retain this manual
in a safe place for future reference.
Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. Please read and follow
all instructions and heed all warnings on the SR-8100 and in this manual. The vast majority of the
subsequent safety precautions are common sense. If you are not comfortable with the installation
of audio/video entertainment equipment, you should seek the services of a qualied installation
professional or call us for help.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE
SR-8100 NEAR WATER OR IN WET LOCATIONS, DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE,
DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING FROM OTHER SOURCES, AND ENSURE
THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS (SUCH AS VASES) ARE PLACED ON IT. DOING SO
MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SR-8100 AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, WHICH MAY
RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER
FROM THE SR-8100. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE SR-8100.
REFER ALL SERVICE TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Do not install the SR-8100 near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating vents, or other
apparatus’ that produce heat. Do not block any ventilation openings or heat sinks. Avoid installing
the SR-8100 directly above other heat-producing equipment unless sufcient ventilation or forced-air
cooling is provided.
Do not install the SR-8100 in locations without proper ventilation. The SR-8100 should not be operated
on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The SR-8100 should not be installed in an
enclosed location such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack unless sufcient forced-air
ventilation is provided.
Always install your SR-8100 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only use attachments or
accessories specied by the manufacturer.
Do not install the SR-8100 on any stand, shelf, or other piece of furniture that is unable to support its
weight. If a cart is used to move the SR-8100, use caution to avoid injury from tip-over.
Connect the SR-8100 only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this manual and on
the SR-8100).
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially
careful where the power cable enters the power outlet and the SR-8100 unit.
Only connect the SR-8100 to an electrical outlet or extension cord of appropriate type and rating.
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using
unsafe adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a
third ground prong in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third grounding prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t your outlet, consult an electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. If you replace the power cord on the SR-8100, only use one of similar type and
equal or greater current rating.
The power cable for the SR-8100 should be unplugged from the outlet during severe electrical storms,
or when unused for a long period of time.
!
!
Only replace the fuse(s) in the SR-8100 with a fuse(s) of proper value and voltage rating.
The SR-8100 should only be cleaned as directed in the manual. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the
SR-8100 and NEVER spray liquids into the vents. Care should be taken so that small objects do not
fall into the inside of the SR-8100.
You should seek service for your SR-8100 by qualied service personnel if any of the following occur:
1. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
2. Objects or liquid have fallen or spilled into the vents.
3. The SR-8100 has been exposed to rain.
4. The SR-8100 exhibits a marked change in performance.
5. The SR-8100 has been dropped, or its enclosure or chassis is damaged.
NOTE: TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THE SR-8100 FROM THE AC POWER MAINS,
DISCONNECT THE AC POWER CORD FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE.
NOTE: THE SR-8100 AC POWER CORD MUST REMAIN READILY ACCESSIBLE AT ALL TIMES.

outputs. Typically, the analog surround sound outputs of an SACD player or external decoder are
connected to these inputs.
3. Digital Audio Inputs
The SR-8100 provides four digital audio inputs. CO 1 and CO 2 are for standard Coaxial connectors
carrying S/PDIF digital audio; OPT 1 and OPT 2 are for standard Toslink optical cables carrying

type of audio is being supplied by your source
component, and will ONLY allow you to choose
audio modes that are compatible with that input
signal. (For example, if you select
“Dolby Digital” when playing a disc, the SR-8100
will offer you digital surround options compatible
with that mode, but NOT modes which are not
