6.Power Switch: ON The ON setting is the normal operating position. When you turn the amplifier on, it may enter the warmup timing cycle for approximately 30 seconds while the tube filaments reach operating temperature. During warmup, the Mode Indicator LED lights in orange. When the amplifier is ready to operate, the Mode Indicator LED lights in green.

7.Right Channel Inputs The five Right Channel input connectors accept line-level audio signals from external program sources such as compact disc players and tuners. The amplifier plays the program from each connector through the Right Speaker output when the Program Selector switch is set to the position that corresponds to that connector. All five connectors are identical line-stage inputs. The amplifier does not include a phono preamp stage; in order to play LPs or other records, you must use an external preamplifier.

8.Tape Out (Right) The Tape Out connector is an unbuffered output that carries the currently selected Right Channel program source at a constant level. The Volume Control setting has no effect on the Tape Out signal.

PLEASE NOTE: If you set a recorder connected to the Tape Out connector to monitor the recorderÕs input signal, and set the amplifier to play back the program from that recorder, you will create a feedback loop, which will drive the amplifier into oscillation, and possibly damage your speakers. The Model 5 amplifier does not include a traditional ÒTape MonitorÓ setting.

9.Feedback Control (Right) The Feedback Control switch is a rotary switch that sets the optimal feedback level for speakers with different impedances. Use a small screwdriver or alignment tool to move the red mark next to the impedance of the speaker connected to the right channel of the ampli- fier. If you donÕt know the impedance of your speakers, consult the documentation supplied with the speaker, ask your dealer or the speaker manufacturer, or use an ohm meter to measure the imped- ance. Turn the amplifier off before you adjust the Feedback Control setting.

10.Right Speaker Connectors The Right Speaker connectors are five-way binding posts. Connect

the positive (+) terminal on the speaker to the connector on the amplifier that comes closest to the speakerÕs impedance. Connect the negative (Ð) terminal on the speaker to the 0Ω(Common) connec- tor. For best performance, use high-quality speaker cables.
