Recording an audio source
e A19 allows you to record and monitor the sound
from any connected source.
e back panel
REC OUT socket can be connected to the
input sockets of your recording device (these are usually
labelled RECORD or IN).
To record from a particular source, press the appropriate
source button (for example,
TUNER).
Adjusting the balance
e balance setting allows you to increase the volume of
one channel (le or right) relative to the other. Altering
the balance may help to restore the stereo image for an
o-centre listening position.
Balance can be adjusted from the front panel or from the
remote control. Click the
BALANCE button (or BAL on the
CR108) to view the current setting, then use the control
knob (or the +/– buttons on the remote) to change the
setting – from L9 to R9, via the neutral value 0.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with your amplier, check the
following items.
No sound
Check the following:
< e A19 amplier is powered up and switched on.
< e amplier is not muted (i.e. MT (mute) is not
shown on the display panel; the power light is
showing green, not orange or red).
< e selected source is generating audio (e.g., if CD
is selected, then the CD is playing).
< e speaker outputs are connected on the A19 (or
on the power amplier, in the case of a bi-amping
arrangement).
Sound cuts-out unexpectedly
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above
a safe level, then a thermal cut-out inside the amplier
operates to protect the unit and the protection system
temporarily removes power to the speakers. e system
will reset itself as the heatsink cools down.
< With two pairs of low-impedance speakers
connected (6Ω or less), overloads are more likely.
Overloading the amplier may cause it to shut
down because of overheating.
< Note that, due to the high output voltage from some
CD players, it is possible to drive your amplier
at full power even though the volume is not set at
maximum.
