CHECKING
Check that the carton has no damage. Should you have any doubt
about its condition, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer
.
UNPACKING
Very carefully remove the unit from the box, taking care to
preserve all the packing material. It is good practice to put the
carton and its contents into an outer plastic bag and deposit it
somewhere safe and dry. In the unlikely event that your unit
needs to be sent back to either your dealer or distributor, it must
be sent in the original packing material. Failure to observe this will
invalidate your warranty.

INSTALLATION
In order to obtain the maximum performance of A60, it is
important to follow the installation instructions.
Wherever possible, we recommend that your amplifier is installed
in an audio rack or other suitable furniture that provides sufficient
ventilation.
WARNING!
If for aesthetic or ease of use reasons, you choose to stack the
units, it is imperative that you place your amplifier on the top.
Never place any unit on top of your amplifier. We recommend that
you provide a space of at least 30cm above your amplifier in order
to ensure adequate ventilation.
CONNECTIONS
Having verified that the mains voltage indicated on the rear of the unit
corresponds to the local power supply mains voltage and that the
ON/OFF switch is on OFF position, connect the mains leads provided to
the rear the unit and to the wall socket.
Connect the Stereo Interconnect cables from the rear of all your sources
to the corresponding inputs on your amplifier.
Connect your loudspeaker cables between your amplifier and your
loudspeakers paying attention to polarity.
The very high quality speaker terminals accept different type of
connections like bananas, or stripped up to 10mm² speaker wires. It is
important to use quality speaker cable to get the maximum out of your
amplifier.
