Operation

Make certain that speakers and input sources are properly connected before switching
on.

Keep volume levels at minimum gain and equalization set to 0dB position before
switching on.

When the AC Mains power switch is pressed, this unit starts operation with tuner display.
NOTE: The system’s operation is delayed by approximately three seconds after pressing
the AC Mains power switch. This is due to the built-in protection circuitry, designed to
protect the speakers and other system components.
