1.1.2 Initial operation
Make sure there is enough space around the unit for cooling.
To avoid overheating, please do not place your amplifier near
radiators and other equipment emitting heat.
+
Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please
make sure you have selected the correct voltage!
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains
three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite
one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is
the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be
altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION:
This does not apply to export models that were
manufactured only for use with 120 V, for example!
+
If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the
fuse accordingly. The correct value of the fuse
needed can be found in the chapter
“SPECIFICATIONS.”
+
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of
appropriate rating only! The correct value of the
fuses needed can be found in the chapter
“SPECIFICATIONS.”
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All
required safety precautions have been adhered to.
+
Please keep in mind that all your equipment has to
be grounded at all times. For your own protection,
never change or disable the grounding on your
equipment or on the cables! The unit should always
be connected to the mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection.
ATTENTION!
+
High volume levels can damage your hearing and
your speakers. Please turn down both volume
controls to the minimum (all the way to the left)
before you power up the amp. Always make sure
you use appropriate volume levels.
