Precautions

Installation place

Install this unit in a location where good ventilation and heat 
radiation are assured. Especially, installation of this unit where 
direct sunlight is present, where the temperature rises exces-
sively high such as close to a heater, or where it is humid 
or dusty may cause a malfunction even if heat is efficiently 
released. Therefore, do not install this unit in such places.

Ventilation holes

The ventilation holes on the top and bottom boards of this 
product must not be blocked because this unit is a vacuum 
tube amplifier and generates considerable heat. If the ampli-
fier is installed on a rack or the like, secure ample space for 
cooling and leave the door open. Do not pile up other things 
on the amplifier and never put articles on it. Failure to observe 
this may cause a malfunction.

Note:

For heat dispersal, do not install this equipment in a confined 
space such as a book case or similar unit.

Precautions in connecting with other 
components

When connecting this product to input devices such as a 
control amplifier, be sure to turn off the power of this prod-
uct and all other connected devices. Otherwise, a very strong 
noise may be generated and destroy the speakers. In the 
worst case, this can cause equipment malfunction.
The pin-plug to be inserted in each input terminal of this unit 
shall be pushed in firmly. If the grounding terminal is inade-
quately connected, noises including hum may be generated, 
resulting in an adverse S/N ratio.

Cautions in connecting speakers

When making speaker system connections, be sure not to 
cause short-circuiting between 

!

 and 

@

 of the speaker ter-

minals and speaker input terminals of this unit. If signals are 
applied to the amplifier with its circuit left short-circuited, a 
large current may be carried in the output circuit and cause 
malfunctioning.

The sound is not generated shortly after 
the power supply is turned on.

This product is a vacuum tube amplifier, and therefore, it can-
not deliver a sound until the vacuum tube heaters warm up.
You can enjoy music 1 minute or more after turning on the 
power. We therefore advise initially setting the volume control 
at a low level. After that, you may move the volume control to 
your favorite sound level after the initial sound comes out of 
the speakers.

Repair and adjustment

When repairs and adjustments are needed, please consult 
with the dealer where you bought the unit.

Cleaning

For cleaning, use a piece of soft cloth to wipe the unit such as 
cleaning cloth. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a small 
amount of neutral detergent to wipe, and then wipe the unit 
with dry cloth. Do not use a solvent like benzine or thinner 
because such a substance can damage the exterior.

Safety caution

Caution

This unit is heavy. Be careful when unpacking, carrying, and 
installation.
This unit is a vacuum tube control amplifier. In the state of the 
unit in operation, the main body gets hot. Be careful not to 
touch it with your bare skin. For safety, do not use this product 
in a place where children or unchained animals are present.
