Getting Started

Connecting to bi-wire system speakers

Since the two pairs of speaker terminals on your amplifier, SPEAKERS A and B, can provide simultaneous speaker output, you can use them to connect a bi-wire speaker system. To drive both speaker systems simultaneously, set SPEAKERS to A+B.

To select the speaker system A or B

Set SPEAKERS to A or B. To drive both speaker systems simultaneously, set SPEAKERS to A+B.

Note

Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 to 16 ohms. When outputting at the same time to two speaker systems, use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 to 16 ohms.

Mains Lead Hookups

Connecting the mains lead

Connect the mains lead from this amplifier and from your audio/video components to wall outlets.

zYou can power other components through AC OUTLET on the amplifier (unavailable on the U.K. model)

By connecting other audio components to AC OUTLET on the amplifier, you can supply power to the connected components through the amplifier and turn them all on or off when you turn the amplifier on or off.

Caution

Make sure that the total power consumption of all components connected to the outlets on the amplifier does not exceed 100 watts. Do not connect electrical home appliances such as an electric iron, fan, TV, or other highwattage appliances to these outlets.

Note

Separate the mains lead, audio connecting cords and speaker cords. Noise or sound deterioration may occur when audio connecting cords are in contact with the mains lead, or when the mains lead or speaker cords are placed near the tuner’s loop aerial or aerial wire.

zWhat is the Enhanced Other Networks (EON)?

One convenient RDS service is ”Enhanced Other Networks” (or ”EON”). This allows the unit to automatically switch to a programme type of your choice when one starts in your broadcast area.

To receive the Enhanced Other Networks (EON) programmes

When your ampifier is connected to a Sony tuner with the EON CONTROL system, the amplifier switches to any EON programme that is broadcast in your EON area, and switches back to the last selected programme source when the programme ends.

Si un objet ou un liquide tombait dans l’amplificateur, débranchez-le et faites-le vérifier par un technicien qualifié avant de le remettre en marche.

Sources d’alimentation

Avant de mettre l’amplificateur sous tension, vérifiez si sa tension de fonctionnement correspond à celle du secteur local. La tension de fonctionnement est indiquée sur la plaque signalétique à l’arrière de l’amplificateur.

Débranchez l’amplificateur de la prise murale s’il doit rester inutilisé pendant une période prolongée. Pour débrancher le cordon d’alimentation secteur, tirez sur la fiche; jamais sur le cordon lui-même.

Le cordon d’alimentation secteur doit être remplacé par un technicien compétent.

Installation

Installez l’amplificateur à un endroit suffisamment aéré pour éviter toute surchauffe interne et prolonger sa durée de vie.

N’installez pas l’amplificateur près d’une source de chaleur, ou bien à un endroit exposé en plein soleil, à une poussière excessive ou à des chocs mécaniques.

Ne posez rien sur l’amplificateur qui pourrait obstruer les ailettes de ventilation ou provoquer une panne.

Fonctionnement

Avant de raccorder d’autres appareils, mettez l’amplificateur hors tension et débranchez-le.

Nettoyage de l’amplificateur

Nettoyez le coffret, le panneau et les commandes avec un chiffon doux, légèrement humidifié de solution détergente douce. N’utilisez pas de tampon abrasif, de poudre à récurer ou de solvant, comme l’alcool ou l’essence.

Pour éviter le ronflement

—Réduisez le volume.

—Éloignez le tourne-disque le plus possible des enceintes.

—Mettez des isolateurs audio en vente dans le commerce sous le tournedisque.

—Maintenez le microphone éloigné des enceintes pendant l’utilisation.

Pour protéger encore mieux contre le hurlement, installez les enceintes ou le tourne-disque sur une planche de bois épaisse ou une dalle de béton.
