2 Power On LED. 

When this is lit, the 

power is on. When it’s 

not lit ... well, you get 

the picture here.

FRONT PANEL

1 Volume Knob. It 

works exactly like 

you’d expect. Turn it 

to the right to make 

the music louder. 

Stop before smoke 

comes out of your 

headphones.

3 Headphone Jack. 

This is where your 

headphones plug in. 

It is very difficult to 

get satisfactory 

 results without 

headphones. A relay 

mutes the output 

for 10 seconds after 

turn-on, and  

immediately after 

turn-off.

4 Vent Holes. This 

may look like a great 

place to keep your 

coffee warm, but 

don’t. And DO NOT 

BLOCK ANY OF THE 

VENT HOLES. If you 

do, the Norse gods 

will appear and rip 

your face off. Well, 

maybe not.
