Power Cord: An AC power cord is normally supplied with a mains plug suitable for your area. If you have any doubts, consult your dealer about obtaining a suitable power cord.
Important notice to UK users
The appliance cord is terminated with a UK approved mains plug fitted with a 5A fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse rated at 5A must be used. If you need to change the mains plug, remove the fuse and dispose of this plug safely immediately after cutting it from the cord.
Connecting a Mains Plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the code: Blue: NEUTRAL; Brown: LIVE:
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The BLUE wire must be connected |
|
|
|
| |
to the terminal marked with the |
| 2.5A FUSE |
letter N or coloured BLUE or |
| |
| BS 1362 | |
BLACK. The BROWN wire must be |
|

Power Amplifier Protection Circuits
Short Circuit Protection: If the output terminals are connected together or there is a short caused by a faulty speaker or connecting lead, the amplifier will mute and
DC Offset Protection: If there is an internal or external fault which may cause DC voltage to be presented to the loudspeaker, the amplifier will mute and stay muted until the fault is removed.
Thermal Protection: If the amplifier is driven excessively for long periods, or the output devices are pushed beyond their safe operating area, the amplifier will switch off and then switch back on again when it has cooled down.
In all cases, if the amplifier does not respond to remedial action, consult your dealer.
