JBL SA550 Classic Owner's Manual EN
Placing The Unit
Place the amplifier on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
Do not place the SA550 on top of a power amplifier or other source of heat.
Do not place the amplifier in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there
is good provision for ventilation. The SA550 is designed to run warm during normal operation.
Do not place any other component or item on top of the amplifier as this may obstruct airflow around
the heat-sink, causing the amplifier to run hot (the unit placed on top of the amplifier would become
hot too).
Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right of the front panel display is unobstructed,
otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-control.
Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise
generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is
too close.
The normal function of the unit may be disturbed by strong electromagnetic interference. If this
occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button, or move the unit to another location.
The SA550 is designed to run warm in
normal use, however extended use at high
volume levels can result in the amplifier
casework becoming hot to the touch.
