3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Connecting the amplifier
1.
1. In your interest, please observe the safety precautions and placement tips
(chapter 2)
2.
Before connecting your VALVER amplifier, turn off all other equipment you wish
to connect to it. This will avoid possible problems due to the connection of this
type of components.
3.
Connect the cables from the sources to the appropriate input on the back of each
channel. When connecting recording devices, be careful to connect the recording
and playback inputs and outputs correctly.
4.
Connect the speakers to the amplifier, taking care to respect the correct polarity
(positive of the amplifier to positive on the speakers).
5.
Check that the amplifier is turned off before plugging the power cord
into the wall outlet.
6.
At this point, turn on the amplifier using the "Power" button (on / off) and then the
"source" button or the red button from the remote control to start (see chapter 4
Operations). After switching on, the amplifier will be ready for use in
approximately 30 seconds.
7.
Check that the volume is not set to maximum before turning on the amplifier.
8.
Turn on other equipment in any order.
3.2. Operation
All VALVER equipment is subject to an operating cycle of at least 100 hours in the
laboratory for valve break-in. For each model, valves specially selected for this use
are used.
The sound quality of tube amps improves throughout the initial break-in
period which can last up to three months.
During this time, daily use is useful (even at high levels), but not a requirement.
Continuous operation does very little to contribute to break-in and is therefore not
recommended.
