There are NO USER REPLACEABLE PAR TS 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

Connections

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 (11) 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 (9) jacks to attach your input signal to the
P-601. Make sure that you correctly attach the left and right
cables. You can use either RCA or 1/4" connectors.

5. The P-601 provides two pairs of SPEAKER OUTPUT
TERMINALS (10) to enable you to run two sets of speakers.
You can either use banana plugs or bare speaker wire for your
connections.

6. A GND TERMINAL (7) is provided for grounding the P-601 to
your other equipment.

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

1. POWER ON: Once you have made all source connections to
your P-601, 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-601 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-601 is equipped with a built in FAN (8).
This allows the inside of your unit to be cooled and to prevent
overheating. Never obstruct or disconnect the fan.
