When using this electronic device, basic precautions should always be taken, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the product.
2. Do not use this product near water (e.g., near a bathtub, was hbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.).
3. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that will keep it level and stable and prevent wobbling.
4. This product, in combination with headphones or sp eakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause
permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable.
If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an aud iologis t.
5. The product should be positioned so that proper ventilation is maintained.
6. The product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat vents, or other devices
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
7. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
product. Replace the fuse only with one of the specified type, size, and correct rating.
8. The power supply cord should: (1) be undamaged, (2) never share an outlet or extension cord with other devices so that the
outlet's or extension cord's power rating is exceeded, and (3) never be left plugged into the outlet when not being use d for
a long period of time.
9. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into, and liquids are not spilled through, the enclosure's openings.
10. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the product.
C. The product has been exposed to rain.
D. The product does not appear to operate normally or exh ibits a marked change in performance.
E. The product has been dropped, or the enclosur e damaged.
11. Do not attempt to service the product beyond what is described in the user maintenance instructio ns. All other servicing should
be referred to qualified service personnel.

To turn the unit ON or OFF, press the Left or Right portion of
this button. Before turning on the amplifier, check all connections
and turn down the level controls. A momentary muting is normal
when turning the amplifier on o r off.
(Caution: Always turn on your power amplifier last, after a ll your
other connected equipment, and always turn off your power
amplifier before your other connected equipment.)
Thes e LEDs illuminate when the power is turned "ON".
Thes e LEDs illuminate if any se ction of the power amplifier's
output are within 3dB of clipping. Occasional blinking of the LEDs
are acceptable, but if they remain on more than intermittently you
should turn down either the power amplifier s level controls or
reduce the ou tput level of the preceding component to avoid
audible distortion.
Thes e LEDs illuminate to confirm the presence of an inpu t signal
greater than 1 00 mV at that cha nnel of the amplif ier
Thes e LEDs illuminate if the power amplifier s output connection
is shorted or the load impedance is too low. When either of these
LEDs is lit up, turn OFF the power and check the output's connec-
tion to verify that it is correct, th en turn ON the power again.
Thes e control the level of signal coming into each channel. The
actual voltage gain of the amplifier is shown in dB. Turn these
controls coun terclockwise if the peak LEDs illuminate steadily
(indicating too strong an input signal).

RACK MOUNTING
AMPLIFIER COOLING
The amplifiers are designed for standard 19" rack
mounting as well as "stack" mounting without a cabinet. Use 4
a good idea to support the amps also in the rear, especially for
mobile use where the amps will be subjected to shocks.
Also pay close attention to the cooling requirements. Never block
the air vents in the back, side and front of the amplifier if the load
seen by amplifier is less than 4 ohms and the amplifier is being
run at high output levels. For best results, in such high output
power applications you should augment the amplifier's air flow
with a rack cooling system.
