How to use your REDGUM amplifier
At the front of your amplifier is an on/off switch, and three rotary
controls. These are used to turn the amplifier on and off, select the
input source, and adjust the volume and balance.
Turning the amplifier on and off
Your amplifier utilises a key switch as the on/off control, or the option
of a rocker/toggle switch if preferred.
For rocker/toggle switch versions, flick the switch on the front panel to
turn the amplifier on and off.
For key switch versions, insert the key provided into the lock. When
the key is vertical, the power is off. To turn on the power, rotate the
key clockwise a quarter turn. N.B. Remote Control models will only
operate with
the key
in the
on
position.
You may remove the key when the amplifier is turned on. However, it
is recommended that you leave the key in place for convenience. If
you do remove it, you can safely turn the amplifier on and off by using
the rocker of the Circuit Breaker switch (marked Reset/Off) at the rear
of the chassis. In this case, rocking the switch to the ‘Reset’ position
will turn the amplifier on. Alternatively, you can safely turn the
amplifier on and off from the power point when the Circuit Breaker
switch is in the ‘Reset’ position.
Note
Always make sure that the volume is turned down before turning on your
amplifier, to protect your equipment.
