REMOTE CONTROLLER
By using the provided remote control unit, the amplifier can
be controlled from your li stening position. To use the remote
control unit, point it at the REMOTE SENSOR window of the
receiver.
Notes:
- Even if the remote control unit is operated within the
effective range, remote control operation may be impossible
if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote
control.
- If the remote control unit is operated near other appliance
which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control
devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may
operate incorrectly.
- The power is turned on/off (standby) by pressing the
POWER button on the remote control unit in standby mode.
Precautions concerning batteries
-Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive+ and
negative – polarities.
- Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of
batteries together.
- Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used.
Refer to the precautions on their labels.
- When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long
time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak,
wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and
replace the batteries with new ones.
- Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of
old batteries by throwing them in a fire.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION RANGE
Use the remote control unit within a range of about 6
meters (20 feet) and the angles of up to 30 degrees aiming at
the remote sensor.
NOTE: Direct sunlight or very bright ambient lighting may
affect the operating range and angle for the remote control
set.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert two “AAA” dry batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their
positive “+” and negative “-” poles positioned correctly.
3. Close the cover until it clicks.
If the distance required between the remote control unit
and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In
this case, replace the batteries with new on

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS AND AUDIO SOURCES (CD, TUNER, DVD etc.)
Be sure to connect the polarities of the speaker system and the speaker termi nals correctly (+ to +, - to -).
When make the connection, please refer to the connection diagram. Make sure that all the units are switched off during any
connection. The RCA sockets on your SA-300SE are color coded for your convenience. Red and white are RIGHT and LEFT audio
respectively.
Use high quality RCA-interconn ect and speaker cables for optimum performance and reliability. Ensure that all cables and sockets
are not damaged in any way and all sockets are firmly pushed home.
QUICK START
1. Connect the speakers to the speaker terminal and sources to the relevant terminals and rear input sockets on the back
panel of the unit.
2. Plug in the AC power cord.
3. Press the POWER switch on the back panel of the unit, and then press stand-by power switch on the front panel (or
remote controller) to turn on the amplifier.
4. Press the required input selector. And enjoy.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS*
Turn ON/OFF the unit
1. Connect the power cord to the rated AC socket. Press the POWER ON/OFF switch (on the rear panel), the unit has been turned
into stand-by mode.
2. Press the STANDBY button (1/ front panel or remote controll) to turn on the unit. Press the STANDBY button again to turn off
the unit.
Input function selection
After the unit having been turned on, press the source input button to choose the your desired input signal source. For example,
CD button selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the CD sockets as the active input, TUNER button for the
connected tuner and so on. Blue LED indicator at every button indicates which input source is active.
Release the source button at your desired input source, during this procedure, we advice the volume to be decreased. Please note,
that SA-300SE doesn’t have a built in phono stage and corresponding input socket. If you wish to connect a turntable to the
amplifier, you should use some of the commercially available phono preamp-stages, which can be connected to any of the line
input sockets. Contact your dealer about the suitable phono stages for your amplifier.
Speakers selection
After the unit having been turned on, press the Speakers A button, to select the main speakers. If you have connected additional
pair of speakers, you can choose to listen to the main pair, the additional pair (speakers B) or both. The blue LED indicator will
indicate which option is in use. Please use speakers with an impedance of minimum 4 ohms or more.
Remote control handset
The remote control handset handles all the functions of the SA-300SE and performs the same functions as the buttons labeled
the same on the front panel. The extra added feature is the possibility to switch off the blue light ring around the volume control
knob, if you desire so. When a command on the remote control is hit, a LED indicator on the remote handset will blink, indicating
that the remote controller is sending a signal to the unit.
General
When you’ll connect the amplifier into your system for the first time, please note that as with most high quality electronic units,
it will require the burn-in time of few dozens of hours, until the full sound performance will be achieved. Due to our task for the
maximum sound quality of this amplifier, we have omitted all filters and tone controls, which are on the signal path and which can
affect the sound. If you wish to enhance the bass reproduction of your speakers set, you can use any commercially available
active (powered) subwoofer with a RCS output, which should be directly connected to the corresponding SUB OUT socket on the
rear panel.
