Setting Input Level

LEVEL

Adjust the input level as follows: 1. If necessary, unplug the remote plug from the unit.

2. If connecting the amplifier to a system with adjustable volume, set the volume to its lowest point.

Then adjust the level potentiometer fully counterclockwise to its minimum setting.

3.Set the system volume to its maximum level. No sound should come out.

4.Slowly increase the amplifier level until sound distortion starts to occur. Lower the level slightly until the distortion disappears. This setting ensures that, whatever the system volume setting may be, no clipping occurs.

Setting Bass and Treble

Adjust the bass and treble as follows:

1.Use the bass potentiometer to increase or decrease the bass shelving ±10 dB at 100 Hz and below.

2.Use the treble potentiometer to increase or decrease the treble shelving ±10 dB at 10 kHz and above.

NOTE: Turning the bass or treble potentiometers counterclockwise will decrease the

output at the specified frequencies. Turning the potentiometers clockwise

will increase the output. When the potentiometer is at the center detent, flat response is achieved.
