Cautions

1.All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment.

2.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS 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

CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.

Connection

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 (14) 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 (11) jacks to attach your input signal to the

XG-3001. Make sure that you correctly attach the left and right cables. You can use either RCA or 1/4" connectors. If you are using the bridged mono mode, plug your input signal into either the 1/4" or RCA left jack and set the STEREO/MONO SWITCH (12) to mono.

5.The XG-3001 provides two pairs of SPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINALS (13) to enable you to run two sets of speakers when the unit is in the stereo mode (the STEREO/MONO SWITCH (12) is set to stereo). You can either use banana plugs or bare speaker wire for your connections. If the unit is being used in the bridged mono mode, plug the speaker into the center jacks (marked mono). You can plug one speaker into set A and one speaker into set B. Remember, the STEREO/MONO SWITCH (12) needs to be in the mono position.

6.A GND TERMINAL (9) is provided for grounding the XG-3001 to your other equipment.

7.Make sure that the FAN (10) is not obstructed.

1.POWER ON: Once you have made all source connections to your XG-3001, 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 XG-3001 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. The XG-3001 is equipped with SIGNAL INDICTOR LEDs (7) and

CLIP LEDs (8). These LEDs will visually show the presence and strength of a signal. The stronger the signal the more LEDs that light. The maximum signal that should go through the XG-3001 should cause the CLIP LEDs (8) to blink at peak music levels. In the bridged mono mode, only the left VOLUME CONTROL (5) will adjust the output level.

WARNING: If the CLIP LEDs (8) remain on steadily, cut the levels down or the unit will go into protection.
