Connecting the Power Cord
Notes:
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your
speakers and audio components.
• Turning on the A-1VL may cause a momentary
power surge that might interfere with other electrical
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem,
plug the A-1VL into a different circuit.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied
with the A-1VL. The supplied power cord is designed
exclusively for use with the A-1VL and should not be
used with any other equipment.
• Never disconnect the power cord from the A-1VL
while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet.
Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always
disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first,
and then the A-1VL.
1. Connect the supplied power cord to the A-1VL’s AC
INLET.
2. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
