Choosing standard settings

The 551 Integrated Amplifier provides six alternative standard settings, called Types, which configure all aspects of the integrated amplifier into the six most commonly needed configurations.

Choosing one of the six standard settings overrides any other configuration you may have performed, and so can be used to reset the configuration of the integrated amplifier.

To select a standard setting

Turn off the integrated amplifier, using the power switch on the back panel.

Turn on the power again while holding down the Off key on the front panel.
