Installation and wiring
Carefully unpack the AMP 8 and store the original packing materials
carefully. The carton and packing are specially designed for this unit and
will be needed again if you wish to move the equipment at any time.
Please be sure to read the safety notes in these instructions.
If the unit gets very cold (e. g. when being transported), condensation
may form inside it. Please do not switch it on until it has had plenty of
time to warm up to room temperature, so that any condensation
evaporates completely.
Before placing the unit on a sensitive surface, please check the
compatibility of the lacquer and the unit’s feet at a non-visible point.

The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base.
The quality and characteristics of the base on which your high-
quality Hi-Fi equipment stands define the limits of sound quality
which can be achieved. The base surface should be as heavy, rigid,
hard and level as possible. Make sure there are no loose objects on
the support surface which could cause rattling noises or resonance
effects.
The device should be set up in a dry, well-ventilated site, out of direct
sunlight and away from radiators.
Do not place naked flame sources, such as candle lights on the device.
The unit must not be located close to heat-producing objects or devices,
or anything which is heat-sensitive or highly inflammable.
When installing the unit on a shelf or in a cupboard it is essential to
provide an adequate flow of cooling air, to ensure that the heat produced
by the unit is dissipated effectively. Any heat build-up will shorten the life
of the unit and could be a source of danger. Be sure to leave free space
around the unit for ventilation.
If the system components are to be stacked then the amplifier must be
the top unit. Do not place any object on the top cover.
Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also remote control leads must be
kept as far away as possible from signal leads and antenna cables.
Never run them over or under the unit.
