1Be sure that the POWER switch is in the OFF position.

2Connect the included power cord to the AC IN connector on the rear panel.

3Plug the power cord into a standard power outlet.

NOTE

•To prevent an unpleasant burst of noise from the speakers, you should power up the sound sources ﬁrst, and then the other devices in

order of their distance from the source (starting with the closest).

For example: Sound source (external device)

EMX unit

→

Amps (Powered speakers)

When turning power off, proceed in the opposite order.

•Before turning power on, make sure that the LEVEL and MASTER knobs are set to the “0” position.
