ADVANCED SET-UP
PLACEMENT
Place the amplifier on a stable flat surface or on top of a dedicated hi-fi equipment rack or table, with access to a good mains supply. Always
place the amplifier on the top of other equipment or, better still, on a separate shelf to allow for this. Do not place it at the bottom of a stack of
equipment, as it may get too hot in use and switch-off, with an over-temperature message on the display. If this happens, locate the amplifier in a
different position with better ventilation. Placing the amp inside a cupboard or on a middle shelf may also limit its full power capabilities.
VENTILATION
It is important to provide good ventilation to cool the amplifier. Airflow must not be restricted to the slots on the top and bottom of the case if the
full performance of the amplifier is to be achieved.
POWERING THE AMPLIFIER
Plug the mains cable (power cord) provided into the three pin IEC mains socket on the rear panel. Plug the 3 pin mains plug at the other end
into the nearest wall socket, or a good quality extension socket strip. Do not use multi-way adapters in one socket. Always ground the amplifier
through the mains socket.
The mains POWER ON/OFF switch is located on the rear panel, above the mains input socket. The switch is marked 0 and 1. To power-up the
amplifier, depress the mains switch to position 1. The STANDBY logo will illuminate on the display screen, indicating the status of the amplifier.
To fully POWER-UP the amplifier press either control knob on the front panel.
To remotely POWER-UP the amplifier, press the blue AMP button on the remote handset, or the blue MUTE button marked with a loudspeaker
symbol and X. The MUTE button has a dual function. Signal MUTE requires a short single press. Enter or leave Standby requires a longer press.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Two large rotary control knobs control all the amplifier’s functions.
VOLUME, BALANCE AND MUTE
Rotate the right-hand control knob to adjust the volume in 1dB (1 decibel) steps. It may seem confusing but 0dB is maximum volume and -80dB
is the minimum setting, or MUTE. Press and hold the knob-in and turn it left or right to adjust the balance.
