Unpacking

The power amplifier is supplied with the following accessories:

Power cord.

Bridge-mode links (G55-2, G56/G57-1).

This manual.

If any of these items are missing please contact your dealer.

Note: You should retain the packaging in case you need to transport the unit.

Stacked with any other audio products, as the heat it generates may damage the other products.

On a soft surface, such as a carpet, which would obstruct the ventilation holes in the base.

Standby

Once set up, the power amplifier can be left in standby as it consumes minimal power in this mode.

To bring the amplifier out of standby press the button on the front panel. Alternatively, the unit can be brought out of standby automatically using the TRIGGER INPUT; see below.

Siting

During normal operation the internal heatsinks may become quite hot. The power amplifier should therefore be positioned to allow a free flow of air through the cooling vents from the base to the top. Do not place the power amplifier:

In direct sunlight.

Near heat sources, such as a radiator.

If you are not going to use the power amplifier for a period of several days you should switch off the unit completely, at the back panel and disconnect it from the AC power supply.

Trigger input

The TRIGGER INPUT can be used to bring the power amplifier out of standby by applying a signal from a control unit.
