Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Place on stable, level surface with adequate ventilation.

1. Connect speakers: Use high-quality speaker cables to A or B speaker outputs.
2. Connect audio sources: Use appropriate cables for CD player, turntable, tuner, etc.
3. Connect phono: Use ground wire for turntable connection to reduce hum.
4. Plug into AC power outlet.

WARNING! Ensure proper ventilation; do not block ventilation openings. Use correct speaker impedance (6-16 ohms).

First-Time Setup

Power on amplifier; allow warm-up for optimal performance.

1. Select input source: Rotate INPUT SELECTOR to desired source (CD, TUNER, PHONO, etc.).
2. Adjust volume: Start with volume at minimum, gradually increase to desired level.
3. Set tone controls: Adjust bass and treble to personal preference or set to flat position.
4. Speaker selection: Choose A, B, or A+B for connected speakers.

CAUTION! Always turn volume to minimum before powering on/off to protect speakers.
