SOUND ADVICE

The Consonance tristan Solid-state Integrated Amplifier is easy to connect and operate and requires no prior
technical knowledge. However, to get the most out of the amplifier's superior sound and music quality, we have
provided a brief description of the connections and use of the amplifier in order to provide a total music
experience.

We recommend keeping this user guide for future reference.

GENERAL USE

The amplifier is switched on with the button in the middle of the front panel. A red LED in the display , indicates
that power is switched on. By pushing the same button one more time the power is switched off.

On the left buttons + and - is the channel selector with selections: CH1(“1”), CH2(“2”), CH3(“3”), phono
input(“PH”), and the right of the front panel, the right buttons- and + is the volume control.

Note: all the function of input selecting and volume control could be displayed together on the screen.
When the mute function is switched on, the present volume level will keep flashing on the right screen to
indicates mute mode is on.

Avoid connecting input cables or selecting inputs with the source selector switch if the volume setting of the
amplifier is not fully turned down and the speakers are connected. A transient signal might then arise, which can
damage the speakers. The amplifier will not be harmed, but to avoid overloading the speakers, the volume should
be turned fully down or the mute function should be switched on when connecting and disconnecting cables.

The amplifier is protected against short-circuiting of the speaker terminals, but we still recommend turning off the
amplifier when connecting and disconnecting signal and speaker cables.
The amplifier is designed to be used with a CD player, DVD player, cassette deck, tuner or similar sound source.
