Operating the KCT Preamplifier

The KCT preamplifier is easy to install and operate. Instructions follow for on/off and stand-by operation, and zone operating options.

IMPORTANT

Always mute or fully attenuate the preamplifier level when switching between active sources (such as a CD player, tape monitor, or VCR).

Do not change the input connections to the preamplifier while the preamplifier is on.

Use care when setting high playback levels. Always lower the volume level at the first sign of loudspeaker distress.
