For 8 Ohm Speakers, connect the negative
(black) speaker wire
to
the'common'
negative
binding post.
Then connect the positive (red) cable
to
the 8
Ohm red binding post.
Repeat for the right speaker.
For 4
Ohm speakers, the negative (black)
connections are the same as the 8
Ohm, but the
positive
or
red connection must
be
to
the
4 Ohm
binding post. Your AMC amplifier
is
capabIe
of
generating
high
peak
currents,
so
all
connections
must
be
checked
to
avoid
inadvertent short circuits, and to ensure a good
clean contact.

POWER SWITCH
The amplifier is turned on by depressing the
power switch. The
small indicator above the
switch
will
glow green. Before switching on,
always set the volume control to minimum to
avoid damage
to
your loudspeakers.
Note: Your AMC
amplifier will play music almost
immediately after being switched on. However,
in
common with other audiophile products, the
internat circuits take some time to stabilise fully,
and the best possible sound quality may not be
obtained until the
amplifier has had some time
(possibly an hour
or
two)
to
warm up.
INPUT SELECTION
lhe
rotary input selector switch selects which
input signal (Phono, CD. Tuner
or
Aux) is fed
to
the power amplifier. The selected signal
is
also
fed
to
the 'Tape out' sockets for recording.
TAPE MONITOR SWITCH
The Tape Monitor switch is generally left in the
'Source'
position
so
that
the
programme
selected by the input switch is routed
to
the
loudspeakers/headphones.
If the Tape Monitor
switch is turned to the 'Tape' position, the signal
from
the
tape
recorder
is
routed
to
the
loudspeakers/headphones.
If your tape machine is a three head type suitable
for AlB monitoring, then turning the Tape Monitor
switch
to
the 'Tape' position will allow full off-tape
monitoring
of
the recorded signal
to
be carried
out via the loudspeakers/headphones.
VOLUME CONTROL
The Volume Control is of a split type and allows
you
to
adjust the levels
of
the left and right
channels for both loudspeakers independently.
Normally, the two halves of the contral knob
rotate together as they are locked together by a
friction clutch inside the volume control itself.
However, buy holding the rear part of the contral
firmly with the first finger and thumb of one hand,
it is possible
to
alter the relative position of the
two parts of the knob, and thus compensate for
