There are NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to a qualified service technician.

3.Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a radiator or stove.

4.This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or other cleaning detergents.

5.When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.

6.DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

7.DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.

Connection

1.Be sure that POWER (1) is in the OFF position. All connections must be made with all equipment OFF.

2.Before plugging in the power cord, make sure the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (14) is set to the correct voltage.

3.For best sound use only high quality audio cables for your hook up. Make sure all cables are pushed in securely.

4.Use the LINE IN (11) jacks to attach your input signal to the P- 801. Make sure that you correctly attach the left and right cables. You can use either RCA or 1/4" connectors.

5.There are two supplied AC OUTLETS (13), one unswitched

(Max. 500W) and one switched (Max. 400W), which allow the electrical hook up of other units.

6.The P-801 provides two pairs of SPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINALS (12) to enable you to run two sets of speakers. You can either use banana plugs or bare speaker wire for your connections.

7.A GND TERMINAL (9) is provided for grounding the P-801 to your other equipment.

8.Make sure that the FAN (10) is not obstructed.

1.POWER ON: Once you have made all source connections to your P-801, press the POWER (1) button, the power will turn on and the POWER LED (2) will illuminate GREEN.

2.PROTECTION LED: The PROTECTION LED (3) illuminates

RED when the amplifier overheats or when a shorted load or

DC is detected on the amplifier output. The amplifier will reset itself when the problem is corrected.

Note: When you first turn on the power, the PROTECTION LED will illuminate for a few seconds. This is normal.

3.SPEAKER SELECTION: The P-801 is capable of handling two sets of speakers. To select, push the proper SPEAKER BUTTONS (4). You can select either A, B or both A & B.

4.VOLUME CONTROL: You can easily control the output level to your speakers (the volume) by using the rotary VOLUME CONTROLS (5, 6). VOLUME CONTROL (5) adjusts the left channel and VOLUME CONTROL (6) adjusts the right channel.

5.BUILT IN FAN: The P-801 is equipped with a built in FAN (10). This allows the inside of your unit to be cooled and to prevent overheating. Never obstruct or disconnect the fan.
