Direct Power Amp Mode Procedure

4. Turn on your preamplifier, turn on your AP990C.
General Notes about Usage
If you turn off the AP990C wait at least five minutes before turning it on again.
This brief cool down period will reduce stress on the output tubes and potential
damage to them.
Aeron does not recommend leaving your AP990C on 24 hours a day as is the
custom of some listeners to achieve maximum sonic performance on demand.
While this is often recommended for solid-state equipment, Aeron does not
recommend this procedure for vacuum tube integrated amplifiers.
CAUTION: Always turn the volume control down when changing program
sources.
