Carefully read and follow the manual for installation:
◆ Do not place the machine near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers or other products that produce
heat.
◆ In order to avoid being overheated please keep the unit's ventilation open.
◆ Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
◆ Keep the amplifier in a certain distance so that it can be easily connected.
◆ Amplifier should install steadily and make sure all four feet are on the same level.
◆ Keep the amplifier over 15cm's distance to the surrounding walls.
NOTE:
Please make sure local voltage level is matched with
the input level of the amplifier, which indicates on the
rear panel. Too low or too high voltage may cause
problems or shorten the amplifier's life.

Turning On
Before turning on the amplifier please make sure all connections are right and power supply is stable.
Turn on the amplifier, the power indicator will be on and
•
the working indicator will keep flickering.
The working indicator will be on after 60 seconds. It
•
means that the amplifier is working normally. If the
working indicator is off, please turn off the power and
contact with our local agent or our company.
Select the right audio source channel, adjust the volume
•
to a certain position and then you can enjoy themusic
you prefer.
NOTE:
1. When the audio system is under working state, don't
unplug the signal cable or speaker cables, or it will
cause damage to the amplifier and other equipments.
2. It should at least takes 2 minutes before you turn on the
power again, or it will cause damage to the vacuum
tubes.
