Need a link or a PDF-Sunfire

Folks,
As is often the case in life, sometimes you don't realize you need something until it is right there in front of you.
Recently I went out to look at some equipment when I was in Anchorage. I was impressed when I walked in and was looking at Infinity IRS Gamma's, a set of RS 2B's, and some Sunfire products. (My oldest brother was an early adopter of Infinity's 30 years ago and i hadn't seen similar sets since then)
After an hour and a half of listening to tunes, swapping out cables and hearing another Alaskan's tales of woe about buying large, heavy items and getting them up here, I came to the conclusion that I 'needed' one of his Sunfire Cinema Grand 5X200 amplifiers. Now before I saw them my only exposure to them was looking at pictures on the internet. I currently have a 4 channel amp and with the system pulling double duty I was mixing and matching channels to get 5 channels amplified for movies.
He had the original box but not the manual. No problem, right?
Well after surfing the internet I am coming up empty.
Again, if you are looking for some fun, lug an amplifier through the TSA screening at your local airport. Get there early cause they are going to want to look at it.
Still getting used to the sound as it is a different beast compared to the old amp.
Anyone have a copy electronically saved or have a link they can throw my way?
It would be greatly appreciated.
No negatives so far, and my first amp with a lighted meter so I am sold on that already!

There's a section on the Sunfire site, "The Hall of Fame Product Downloads" that may have your model user manual.

Have to admit that I get lost in the "Architect" vs "Signature" vs "Series I" vs "Series II", so .... good luck !
Cfrizz has a Sunfire, Model ... ? .... if she sees this thread, she'd be of more help, I'm sure.
..... pretty cool 'vintage' pics of Bob Carver, btw, on that link.Sal Palooza -
The one you'll probably need is listed as the Cinema Grand Series II 17". Follow Mr. Blue's link, he left the light on for you.Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

I had found the Sunfire sight but I think the link, at least the one for the Cinema Grand Series II 19 inch version, is broken.:frown: I tried IE, Firefox, and Google Chrome just to make sure it wasn't a browser issue.
The Cinema Grand Series 11 17inch shows a 225X5 output while mine is 5X200.
All things being the same it will work and have printed it out.
Thanks everyone who responded.
If someone has one and wouldn't mind copying and mailing I would gladly work on some moolah for the trouble.

Bernal,
Appreciate the link. Except for it is for the 'Signature' 400 watt per channel version. Mine is the non signature version.
I have printed that one out to use, but must fight feelings of inadequacy I develop reading it as mine is only 200 per channel. It appears that everything about it is the same however.
Thanks again,

I have an original copy of the Sunfire Cinema Grand 200x5 manual, I'll scan it and send it to you as soon as I get my new office computer (my old one just burned up) up and running in a few weeks.
