AMS50 GENERAL ADVICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION

Your new AMS50 is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:

This unit features a BRIDGED speaker output and should NOT be grounded on either speaker output terminal as both terminals are effectively “hot”, i.e. carry signal. Please check if using any active “sub”, electrostatic, or other non standard potentially grounded speaker types directly connected to the outputs of the AMS50. Consult speaker manual or supplier if in doubt.

Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.

Only connect the AMS50 to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the unit.

Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains supply is switched off.

Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by items placed on them.

Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the AMS50, for example, a flower vase or potted plants. If

water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket and inform your dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into the AMS50 is dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.

Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment.

Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal adjustments or fuses you can replace yourself. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.

Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm the surface finish.

The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by lightning. For protection of your audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs and disconnect any aerial lead.

If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the AMS50 please quote the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.
