Connecting the speakers

The LK85/140 comes equipped with two pairs of speaker output

sockets to allow bi-wiring. Alternatively, auxiliary speakers may be

connected.

Operation

To turn on the LK85/140 amplifier, press the power switch on the

front panel.

Signal detector sensitivity

The LK85/140 uses signal sense circuitry to detect the presence of

an audio input signal. As soon as the amplifier detects the

presence of an audio signal, it will power up and a small indicator

light adjacent to the power switch will light green. Whenever an

audio signal is removed, the amplifier powers down to standby

mode after a short delay until it again detects an audio signal. The

small indicator light will turn red when the amplifier switches to

standby mode.

Adjusting the signal detector

The LK85/140 is shipped with signal sense circuity set to maximum

sensitivity for normal operation. However, if you find that

interference or other audio noises in your system cause the

amplifier to power up, you may wish to decrease the sensitivity of

the signal detector. To do this turn the signal detector sensitivity

control on the back panel anticlockwise towards the minimum

position.
