OPERATION
When

the
light

will
illuminate,
and
the
light
above
the
word
“ALLNIC”
on
the
front
panel
of
the
Allnic
Audio
H
‐
1500
II
PLUS
phono
stage
will
illuminate.
After
a
forty
(40)
second
automatic
protective
“mute”
period,
the
Allnic
Audio
H
‐
1500
II
PLUS
will
be
ready
for
operation.
To
avoid
surges
to
the
speakers,
it
is
best
to
switch
between
MM
or
MC
input,
or
between
inputs
1
and

selection
are

Of

BE
CAREFUL

That
means
the
volume
setting
for
listening
to
your
turntable
might
be
too
high
for
listening
to
CD’s.
When
you
are
finished
