Rear Panel Features
Power Cord Connection
The A800 features a removable IEC power connector. (A power
cord is included only with the 120V version of the amplifier.)
Plug the female end of the power cord into the Power Cord
Connector on the amplifier rear panel and plug the male end into
a grounded wall socket. Do NOT plug the amplifier’s power cord
into a convenience outlet on any other audio or video
component.

A.C. Fuse Holder
120V versions of the A800 amplifier is shipped with a 4 amp AC
fuse installed. 230V versions have a 2 amp AC fuse installed.
To replace the fuse, unplug the power cord from the Power Cord

Voltage Selector
The A800 can operate from either 120V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz
current. The Voltage Selector is factory-set to the proper voltage
for the region the A800 is shipped to.
Changing the Voltage
If you want to use the A800 in a different region than it was
originally shipped, you can change its operating voltage.
IMPORTANT: Remove the power cord from the amplifier
and the wall outlet before changing the voltage
1. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet and from the
amplifier’s Power Cord Connection.
2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool into the empty
power cord socket and gently pry the fuse holder out of its
socket.
3. Install the proper fuse for the region where the amplifier will be
operated:
120V current = 4A, 250V (T4AL/250V) fuse
230V current = 2A, 250V (T2AL/250V) fuse
4. Replace the fuse holder back into its socket above the power cord
connection.
5. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool to change the
Voltage Switch to the proper setting for the region where the
amplifier is being used.
