Setting up your A70 amplifier
Balance – Once selected, use the Control knob to shift the 
balance between Left and Right channels.
Volume Resolution – RES REF, RES FINE or RES STD. ‘Fine’ 
and ‘Standard’ represent different levels of volume control 
sensitivity. The ‘Reference’ setting gives absolute increments 
in 0.5dB steps.
Input Trims – use the source select buttons and Control 
knob to set input trims for each source. Input trims are used 
to compensate for variations in output levels of different 
source equipment.
Processor Mode – This mode enables you to adjust the 
gain of the amplifier. The amplifier can then be used to drive 
the front left and right speakers in a surround sound system 
when fed from a separate processor. You can then control 
the volume of the entire system using the processor, feeding 
the sound into the TAPE input. Set the gain to match the 
amplifiers that drive your other loudspeakers.
Recording Output – This allows you to select the source 
signal for recording: AV, PHONO, CD, TUNER, AUX or DVD.
Maximum ‘On’ Volume – Use the Control knob to adjust 
the volume setting at switch-on. ONVOL OFF indicates that the 
feature is not activated. ONVOL 1 (or higher) sets the volume 
at start-up (in dB).
Reset – this restores all amplifier settings, including input 
trims, to their factory defaults.
The A70 allows you to adjust listening settings to suit your taste, and to customise various features of 
the amplifier to fit your system. Use this diagram to help you navigate through the settings available.
