Unpacking

• Unpacking the product fully. The carton should contain:

• The Audiolab 8300A

• One IEC power cord suitable for your area.

• One Remote handset with two AAA batteries 

• This instruction manual.

If an item is missing or damaged report this to your dealer as soon as possible. Retain the 
packing for safe transport of your unit. If you dispose of the packing, do so with regard to 
any recycling regulation in your area.

Placement

The unit is designed to run warm during normal operation but ensure you do not black any 
ventilation openings.

Place the unit on a sturdy shelf or table. If you use equipment rack, ensure the unit has 
adequate ventilation and is on its own shelf. To minimize any interference place the power 
supply in a stable location as far from sensitive analogue input ads possible.

Ensure your mains voltage corresponds to the rating plate on the rear of the product’s power 
supply. If in doubt, consult your dealer. If you move to an area with a different mains voltage 
seek advice from an Audiolab appointed dealer or a competent service technician.

Welcome to Audiolab 8300 Series.

8300A is the latest in a long line of Audiolab integrated amplifiers with a pedigree that stretches back to
