Connecting Your Amplifier

Setting up your amplifiers is rather easy.

1.Connect all source components (turntable, CD, Tuner, Tape DAT, etc.) to your preamplifier.

2.Connect the interconnects from the output of the preamplifier or switching center to the RCA input on the top rear of the amplifiers. IF your source has a truly BALANCED output, connect TO the XLR input and select the balanced input. This switch is a locking type to prevent inadvertant or acci- dental switching (say, while cleaning). To engage this switch, PULL OUT the toggle then gently switch the toggle. Do not force the switch to engage or you may break it. If using a standard UNBALANCED source, select and use the unbalanced RCA connector. This amplifier will not function properly if you are using the wrong input for your application. The XLR input is wired

PIN1 GROUND, PIN 2 POSITIVE, PIN 3 NEGATIVE PHASE.

3.Connect the hot or "+" speaker cable to the red binding post and the common or "-" speaker cable to the black binding post (See diagarm 2). Ensure that the other end of the cable is connected correctly to the speaker. Tighten the binding posts by hand. If you use a nut-driver (3/8") do not over-tightenthe posts or you may break the connections inside the amplifier.

4.Ensure that the "mains" switch on the front panel is in the "off" or "0" posi- tion and the OPERATE / STANDBY switch is in the STANDBY mode.

5.Turn on Preamplifier and any source components you plan to use.

6.Plug amplifier into wall outlet.

7.Switch the square mains power switch to the ON position and allow the amplifier a minute or so to 'warm up'. The blinking LED will indicate that the amplifier is in STANDBY mode.

8.Engage the soft-start swich to the OPERATE position. The blinking standby LED will extinguish.

9.Turn up the volume and enjoy.

10.After your listening session, if you wish to leave the amplifier in the energy- saving and 'EVER-WARM' STANDBY mode, engage the OPERATE/ STANDBY switch to the STANDBY position. The standby blinking LED will remind you that the amplifier is in STANDBY mode.
