Welcome to a true throwback—a no-
excuses, Class AB, linear supply, heavy-
as-heck power amplifier. But at the same
time, Vidar 2 has an eye to the future,
with full microprocessor management
of all operating conditions, for better
performance and safety. And we’ve even
added a super-smart standby mode that
cuts power consumption to just a watt
or two, while keeping the amp ready for
great sound. We hope you really enjoy
this marriage of old and new!
INTRODUCTION
The following is required by the roughly 9,542
government agencies and regulations we have to
comply with. If you have some common sense, they
should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these
instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions,
and heed all warnings. Or else!
1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a
qualified professional to help.
2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a
dry cloth.
3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation
openings, or place near heat sources.
4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement.
Route cords away from traffic areas and protect them from
being pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus
is unused for a long period of time.
5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an
extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be
fully inserted.
6. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service is
required when the device has been damaged, including cord or
plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
