4 INTRODUCTION

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Check if the affected unit complies with the EMC limits for immunity, (CE-labelled). If not, address the problem with the manufacturer or supplier. All electrical products sold in the EC must be approved for immunity against electromagnetic fields, high voltage flashes, and radio interference.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

4 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a TANNOY power amplifier. This manual contains important information on operating your amplifier correctly and safely. Please take some time and read this manual to familiarize you with the advanced features of this amplifier.

4.1 Unpacking

Carefully open the shipping carton and check for any noticeable damage. Every Tannoy amplifier is tested and inspected before leaving the factory and should arrive in perfect condition. If found to be damaged, notify the shipping company immediately. Only the consignee may institute a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipping. Be sure to save the carton and packing materials for the carrier's inspection.

It is also advisable to save the carton and packing material, even if the amplifier is undamaged. Should you ever need to ship the amplifier, always use the original packing.

1. Input level attenuators

These controls are used to alter the signal level entering the amplifier. They are calibrated in dB to assist the setup of active loudspeaker systems or cut down unwanted noise from the input signal. (See page 13).

2. Protect indicator

This indicator illuminates if the amplifier tries to operate above its maximum operating temperature (90°°C). The indicator first comes on as a warning to either turn down the input level or check the cooling arrangements. Beyond the maximum temperature the amplifier will mute the input signal. Once the cooling fans have brought the output heat sinks back to normal operating temperature the input signal is un-muted.

This indicator also illuminates when signals above 12 kHz are continuously present at full power at the output terminals or if short circuit protection is activated. If this occurs the input signal is muted, and the process cycles until the VHF signal is no longer present or the short is removed. (See page 14).
