If you plan to power the Cinénova using an external source, then you will need to plug the source into the 12VDC Trigger.

When using this feature the main power switch must remain in the OFF position at all times.

Plug the AC power cord into the amp first then into the wall outlet. Make sure it is firmly connected.

The fuse holder is located directly under the power socket. It contains one extra 15 ampere, 250V fuse.

To access the fuse holder, make sure your Cinénova is turned off and unplugged from both the wall outlet and the amplifier’s power socket. Place a flat head screwdriver in the groove on the top of the fuse holder and simply pry off the fuse holder.
