Switching On
Make sure all the signal and loudspeaker connections to and from
theamp are secureand correctlymade.
Plug the power cords into the pre-amplifier and the power
amplifier/sand then into the wallsocket.
Switch on at the mains and then switch on the pre-amlifier
followedby the poweramplifier/s.
The power indicators on all the unitswill light showing the system
isoperational.
The 8000Q pre-amplifier may be operated via the front panel or
theremote handset.
When you have finished using the equipment switch off all the
power amplifiers. Some enthusiasts prefer to leave the pre-
amplifier permanently switched on. If you do this, ensure that the
pre-amplifier isset to mutewith the volumecontrol atminimum.
It is essentialthat the loudspeaker connections aresecure and with
thepositive and negative terminals correctlyconnected.
This becomes especially important in bi-wired and bi-amplified
systems where theeffects of oneormore incorrectly connected(out
of phase)loudspeakers may severely impair the sound and yet be
difficultto detect.
If the sound appears muddled and lacking clarity this may be
because one or more speaker connections are not correctly made.
Always check loudspeaker connections carefully when you have
madeany alteration to your system.
Connections should be checked periodically. If necessary the plugs
should cleaned with a proprietary cleaner or, in the case of
loudspeakerconnections,freshly re-made.
