BEFORE SWITCHING ON
Plug the accessory IEC mains lead into the
rear panel socket, then the other end into a
wall outlet.
Turn the volume control on the front panel
to minimum (anticlockwise).
STARTING . . . .
Press the POWER button on the X - 150
amplifier - the blue power LED on the front
panel will light indicating that the unit is
ready for use. However, for about six sec-
onds no sound will be heard from your
speakers, and the red mute LED will be lit,
confirming initial mute action.
If PHONO input was selected when previ-
ously powered off, there will be an addi-
tional muting period of about 10 seconds
before sound can be heard.
Select the required audio input source by
pressing the
< or > function button on the
front panel one or more times.
Alternatively, direct access can be obtained
by pressing buttons 1, 2, 3 or 4 on the
remote control. In either case, a correspon-
ding blue indicator LED on the front panel
will light to confirm your choice.
Now adjust the volume control to obtain
the preferred sound level.
TAPE RECORDING
To record, simply select the required source
with the input selector button on the front
panel. This source will now be routed to the
X
- 150’s TAPE RECORD output for record-
ing by the external tape deck.
You will still also be able to hear the select-
ed source through the loudspeakers.
Note - adjustment of the volume control has
no effect on the recording level.
