Please read this owners manual before operating the equipment.

CAUTION !

Various regulation agencies require us to bring the following information to your attention.
Please read carefully.

WARNING ! To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

! Dangerous voltage inside. Do not open the cabinet. There are no user

personnel only.

! Ensure that no objects or fluids pass through the ventilation openings.

If liquid is spilt into the amplifier, disconnect from the mains and consult a
qualified service technician.

Installation

Open the carton and remove the amplifier from its plastic bag. The AC-power cord is placed
in the bottom of the carton. Before placing the unit in your home read this carefully.
Do not subject the amplifier to high mechanical vibration, the valves are sensitive to this.
The trouble free life of an electronic instrument is greatly extended by providing sufficient
ventilation to prevent the build up of high internal temperatures that cause deterioration.
Allow enough clearance so that cool air can enter at the top. With adequate ventilation the
amplifier can be mounted in any position.

The recommended minimum space is 45 cm deep, 45 cm wide and 30 cm high.

Input / Outputs

Use shielded cables to connect the signal source to the amplifier input. To minimise the
possibility to hum the shielded cables should run parallel to each other or loosely twisted
together. Locate the cables away from speaker leads and AC power cords.
Selection of the proper gauge wire to connect the loudspeakers reserves the quality of sound
reproduction for which the loudspeakers has been designed. If undersize wire is used,
resistance is added to the amplifier/loudspeaker combination, which adversely affects the
performance. Added resistance causes reduction of the damping characteristics.
All connections is made on the back panel of the amplifier.

AC Power

The amplifier AC power cord is plugged into a 110/120/220/240 volt 50/60 Hz wall outlet. The
right voltage is indicated on the back panel under AC power inlet.
