INSTALLATION  PRECAUTIONS  and  USER  INFORMATION 

Your new AMS100 is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is necessary to 
observe a few precautions: 
 

This unit features a 

BRIDGED

 speaker output and should 

NOT

 be grounded on either speaker output terminal as both 

terminals are effectively “hot”, i.e. carry signal. Please check if using 

any

 active “sub”, electrostatic, or other non standard 

potentially grounded speaker types directly connected to the outputs of the AMS100. Consult speaker manual or supplier 
if in doubt. 
 
Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product. 

 

Only connect the AMS100 to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the unit. 

 

Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains supply is switched off. 

 

Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by items placed on 
them. 
 
Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the AMS100, for example, a flower vase or potted plants.  

If 

water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the

 

wall socket and inform your dealer, who 

should then check the unit before further use.  Entry of liquid into the AMS100 is dangerous, and may cause 
electric shock or fire hazard. 

 

Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment. 

 

Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside.  There are no internal adjustments or fuses you can replace 
yourself.  Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent. 

 

Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim. 

 
Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm the surface 
finish. 
 
The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by lightning.  For 
protection of your audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs and disconnect any aerial lead. 
 
If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the AMS100 please quote the serial number located on the rear panel 
of the unit.
