Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual

NOTICE!
Magnetic elds
The device generates strong magnetic elds that can interfere with the function
of poorly shielded devices. The strongest magnetic elds are directly above and
below the power amplier. Therefore, never place sensitive devices such as pre-
ampliers, radio transmission systems, or tape decks directly above or below the
power amplier. When installing the power amplier into a rack, you should place
it in the lowest position, and further equipment such as pre-ampliers in the
highest position.
NOTICE!
Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse
The use of dierent types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit. Fire
hazard!
Only fuses of the same type may be used.
