WARNING - This appliance must be earthed

As the colours of the wires of the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or coloured green or green-and-yellow, or by the earth

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

WARNING:

The X-150 is a powerful amplifier and must necessarily supply high voltages through the loudspeaker terminals. Therefore, to avoid any possibility of an electric shock DO NOT TOUCH THE SPEAKER TERMINALS when the unit is being used. To comply with BSEN60065 safety regulations, the 4mm “banana” plug holes have been fitted with plastic blanking pieces. Removal of these will invalidate any electrical safety approval of this product.

WARNING:

Any modifications to this product not expressly approved by Musical Fidelity who is the party responsible for standards compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON

Plug the accessory IEC mains lead into the rear panel socket, then the other end into a wall outlet.

Turn the volume control on the front panel to minimum (anticlockwise).

STARTING . . . .

Press the POWER button on the X-150 amplifier - the blue power LED on the front panel will light indicating that the unit is ready for use. However, for about six sec- onds no sound will be heard from your speakers, and the red mute LED will be lit, confirming initial mute action.

If PHONO input was selected when previ- ously powered off, there will be an addi- tional muting period of about 10 seconds before sound can be heard.

Select the required audio input source by pressing the < or > function button on the front panel one or more times.

Alternatively, direct access can be obtained by pressing buttons 1, 2, 3 or 4 on the remote control. In either case, a correspon- ding blue indicator LED on the front panel will light to confirm your choice.

Now adjust the volume control to obtain the preferred sound level.

TAPE RECORDING

To record, simply select the required source with the input selector button on the front panel. This source will now be routed to the X-150’s TAPE RECORD output for record- ing by the external tape deck.

You will still also be able to hear the select- ed source through the loudspeakers.

Note - adjustment of the volume control has no effect on the recording level.
