is in the "HPF" setting. Adjust it to

the appropriate position for the characteristics and
crossover frequency requirements of the speaker system
with which the amplifier is being used.

Bass Boost Switch

This switch is used to accentuate the bass frequencies
by adding 10 dB of boost to the signal (at 50 Hz.).

Fuse

The circuitry of the amplifier is protected from damage
by an automotive-type fast-blow fuse. If fuse replacement
is necessary, use only fuses of the same ampere rating
as originally supplied with the unit. The use of fuses with
incorrect ratings may cause serious damage to the amplifier.
If fuses blow consistently, carefully check all electrical
connections to the unit.
