INTRODUCTION
The AMC CVT 3030 has been designed to give
superb
sound
quality
and
represents
outstanding value for money.
The CVT
3030
is
a hybrid mosfet valve design,
capable of giving superb sound reproduction.
The components are
all
of the highest quality, but
there are a few
simple hints to follow
in
order to
get the best from your new amplifier.
1)
00
not stand any object or other component
on the top.
Whilst the 3030 is one of the
coolest running Class A valve amps avallable,
uninterrupted air flow
is
most important.
2)
There are two silent fans
in
the
base
under
each pair of
EL34
valves. Again, the air space
under the amp must not
be
restricted
in
any
way. Never stand the unit on a carpeted
surface
or
anything soft,
or
on another
component which generates heat.
3)
The amplifier will sound best when it is
'warmed up', this can take 15-20 minutes
avoid operating the
PHONES/NORMAL/
OIRECT
switch during this period.
4)
The valves should last a very lang time but can
be
changed easily. However, as there
is
always same voltage present inside, even
when the unit
is
turned off, we recommend
that this
is
carried out by your AMC dealer, it
is
only a five minute job for
an
engineer.
5)
We
recommend you retain the original carton
and packaging so that it can
be
repacked
correctly if it ever becomes necessary to
transport the unit or return for service.
6)
After switching off, always let the amplifier cool
down before turning on again.

INSTAlLATION
Your AMC amplifier is supplied set to work on
your local malns supply voltage. Check that
your
local mains supply voltage agrees with the
voltage setting indicated on the back panel of the
amplifier. If not, please contact your dealer or
national distributor for details on how to proceed
further.
The cores of the mains lead are coloured
in
accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral
Brown -
Live
Note: Export units for certain markets have
moulded mains plugs fitted
as
standard .
As the colours
in
the mains lead may not
correspond
with
the
coloured
markings
identifying the terminals
in
your plug, proceed
as
fallows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which
is
marked by the
letter
N,
or coloured black or blue. The wire
which is
coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which
is
marked by the letter
L,
or
coloured red or brown.
FUSES
If the mains plug
is
fused, fit a 3amp fuse.
Your AMC amplifier contains fuses which
are
designed to protect the amplifier and prevent the
occurrence of a dangeraus fault condition.
These should only be inspected and replaced by
a
competent
engineer
using
the
correct
replacement types.
