Input
a) Connect RCA Phono cables from source components (CD Player/
Tuner/Tape/DVD/etc) to the respective inputs.
b) Ensure left and right channels are connected correctly. (Right channel
is marked in red)
c) The tape input is labeled TAPE PLAY.
Turntable connection requires the installation of an optional MM or MC
Phono Card. A ground terminal is provided for connection to a turntable
arm grounding wire or RCA ground wire only.
Output
TAPE REC provides line level output signals for recording.
PRE OUT provides left and right channel output signals appropriate
for connection to an Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier
(a future-proof upgrade).
a) Connect left and right loudspeakers to corresponding left and right
speaker outputs on the amplifier.
b) Connect (+) terminal of loudspeaker to (+) terminal of the amplifier.
c) Connect (-) terminal of loudspeaker to (-) terminal of the amplifier.
Bi-wired connection
Bi-wiring may provide a useful gain in subjective performance. Should you choose
this option, please refer to the “Extended Set-Up” instructions overleaf.
Bi-amping of Loudspeakers
Bi-amping of loudspeakers using a 2010S Integrated and a 2010S Power Amplifier
provides a useful gain in subjective performance. For this operation, please refer
to the “Extended Set-Up” instructions overleaf.
Thank you for purchasing the Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier.

Remote Control
d) Turn the source selection knob to select a live
source component (Phono Aux1/Tuner/CD/
Aux2/Aux3/Tape). Audio should now be heard
when the source component is played.
a) Turn amplifier volume control to minimum.
b) Press power switch. The LED power indicator
will light up.The pre-amplifier output relay will
click after a 6-second delay, together with the
other indicator lights on Volume and Input
Selector Knobs.
c) Without playing any CD/Tape/DVD/etc,turn
the volume control knob slowly clockwise to
around 20%. It is normal to hear a faint hiss.

Ensure your unit is switched off and that the volume
control knob is at its minimum.
Please note that your 2010S Integrated Amplifier
may take up to 48 hours to “run-in” before reaching
its optimal performance.Each subsequent “run-in”
will then take about 30 minutes.
The Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier is fitted
with an over current sensor which will switch off the
speaker output in the event of a speaker wire short
circuit or excessive current. To reset the output,
switch off the Amplifier for 5 minutes.
GroundTerminal

The Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier is fitted with two sets of 4mm loudspeaker sockets for bi-wired connection.Another pair of speaker wires is
required for this operation.
1. Ensure that the links at the speaker terminals between
the high frequency and the low frequency are removed
on both loudspeakers.
2. Follow the diagram on the right for connecting a pair
of loudspeakers in bi-wiring mode.
Please refer to the manufacturer of your loudspeakers
for advice on the practicality and potential benefits of
bi-wiring.

Bi-amping of Loudspeakers
Bi-amping of suitable loudspeakers using a 2010S Integrated and a 2010S Power Amplifier provides a useful gain in subjective performance.The Integrated
Amplifier is used to drive the treble units and the Power Amplifier is used to drive the bass units through the loudspeakers split crossover with the joining
links removed.
1. Check your loudspeaker user manual for the wiring
connections.
2. Follow the diagram on the right for connecting a pair
of loudspeakers in bi-amping mode.
Although the Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier is
able to drive almost any loudspeaker system, the best
results will most likely be achieved with speakers rated
at 8 Ohms.
While the Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier is
compatible with most types of loudspeaker cables,
the type of cables used can influence the subjective
performance of your system.
Please ask your Exposure dealer for advice on bi-amping, loudspeaker cable compatibility and how to get the best from your Exposure 2010S Integrated
Amplifier.
Note: Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier is internally protected against damage from short circuits. However,no such protection is infallible,and damage
may occur if positive and negative speaker cables are inadvertently connected together.
