USER MANUAL 925.23102014.V2
Introduction
We prefer that your Trilogy dealer delivers, installs, sets up and explains your 925's operation to you.
However, we still recommend that you read through this manual thoroughly and keep it to hand for reference if you intend using some or
all of the 925's complex and rather unique features.
Should any part of this manual or the operation of the 925 not be clear to you, please do not hesitate to contact your Trilogy dealer. If
they are not available please contact ourselves directly.
About this manual
Throughout this user manual, the following icons are used:
[enter] This refers to a physical control on the 925.
SEND This refers to a physical connection on the 925.
Bal Centre This indicates information that is presented on
the display.
From this point on, any information presented on the left hand pages are pictorial representations of either the front or back views of the
925 or of the display.
Therefore consider the left hand pages as additional information to accompany the written descriptions on the opposite pages.

Unpacking
Be careful when unpacking your 925, it is heavy. Seek assistance if necessary. Store the packaging safely for future use. It is the ideal
method of protecting your 925 from damage during transport.
Environment
Do not site the 925 near liquids, or place liquid-lled containers near the unit. If liquid does come into contact with the unit there is
serious potential for an electric shock or re hazard. Immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket. Contact your dealer to
arrange an inspection before further use.
The 925 is cooled by convection and so needs good circulation of room temperature air, both under and around it. Do not place it near
sources of heat such as radiators or in direct sunlight. Do not enclose in a cupboard. Do not place directly on carpet.
A at, smooth surface is required. As with all high resolution audio equipment, your 925 is sensitive to vibration, strong magnetic elds
and radio interference. A dedicated, high performance equipment platform sited away from other appliances is the optimum location.
Power Supply
The AC input voltage has been set for the country where it was purchased. Check that the label on the rear panel matches your AC
supply voltage before connecting the supply. The AC inlet cable provided should be used.
The 925 must be earthed. Do not disconnect the AC earth at any time. If in doubt about any aspect of power supply, consult your Trilogy
dealer or a qualied electrician.
A direct connection to a mains outlet is normally best for your 925, avoid adapters. To realise your amplier’s full potential we
recommend high quality mains conditioning. See www.Isol-8.co.uk for more on power supply and system solutions from our highly
acclaimed sister company.
Incoming power is fed via a thermal mains breaker on the rear panel. If this trips, it can be reset by pressing the button on the breaker.
However, if the breaker will not reset there is likely a serious internal fault and the unit should be immediately unplugged then returned to
your dealer for servicing.

Connections
It is good practice to complete all interconnections before switching on to avoid any damage to your system’s loudspeakers while
plugging in.
Connect the supplied AC input cable. It can be left connected at all times to ensure reliable operation. If not being used for extended
periods of time; switch off at the mains outlet. See the Menu Operation section for timed, sleep and remote switching.
The 925 offers seven stereo, line level audio inputs. There are three XLR balanced (1-3) and three RCA single ended (4-6) inputs on the
rear panel with one input on the front panel (3.5mm stereo 7). Input 6 is associated with auxiliary loops. If a loop function is not required
Input 6 / RTN can be regarded as input 6. Connect your sources to these inputs as required. A separate phono stage will be required for
vinyl playback.
The 925 allows separate selection of the source to be amplied, and the line level source for output SEND to a recorder, AV or multi-
room system. Input 6 should be used for any return signal from the recorder etc. To prevent howl round, this 6/RTN cannot be selected
as the SEND output.
Each channel has outputs via copper terminals for connection to your loudspeakers. It is important to connect your speaker cables
correctly. Connect the terminal marked + to the positive terminal of your loudspeaker, and the terminal marked – to the negative. Make
sure that each connection is secure and not touching another. Do not over tighten the terminals as damage may result. Finger tight is
sufcient. Do not attempt to connect one terminal to ground, bridge both channels of the amplier, or connect in any other conguration.
Damage will occur as a result.
Twin TAS link connectors allow interconnection, control and monitoring of other Trilogy products via QuietBus technology. The associated
LEDs on the rear panel give status information. The TAS link section of this manual contains further information. TAS link cables are
available from your Trilogy dealer in various lengths.

Mains Supply
Having checked input, output and AC connections, turn on the mains supply to your 925.
Security
Each 925 comes with its own unique PIN for your security. Please take precautions to remember your PIN and make sure it cannot
fall into the hands of others. Should you not be able to enter the correct PIN, contact your Trilogy dealer.
PIN Code Protection
When the amplier is rst powered, or unplugged for approximately fteen minutes, the amplier requires a security PIN code to be
entered. When the display says PIN Code, press [enter] and the display will read 00---- where 00 are the rst two digits of the
PIN code you are entering. Set these digits correctly with the [shaft encoder], noting you can move backwards through 00 to 99 for
speed. Press [enter], adjust the next pair of digits, [enter] to change the last pair then [enter] again to complete PIN code entry.
If the PIN is entered incorrectly, press [enter] at the warning but note that after three failures, the unit will be locked out for two
minutes before prompting again for PIN entry.
PIN request when power is applied can be disabled in the appropriate menu should you prefer.
