Pre-Power mode
The pre-amplifier outputs are operational. A second power amplifier can be connected for
bi-amplifying as shown in the diagram. An additional power amplifier can also be connected
to drive a second pair of speakers.
Operating Modes
Although 8300A is an integrated amplifier, it can function as a separate pre-
amplifier and power amplifier. Rotate the MODE knob on the front panel to select
different operating modes.
NOTE: When switching modes, the making and breaking of connections may
momentarily operate the muting function on the 8300A.
Integrated mode
The pre-amplifier section is internally connected to the power amplifier. Pre-Amp
outputs are not operational. 8300A acts as an integrated amplifier, has amplifier
output, can drive speakers directly.

Pre Mode
All signals to and from the power amplifier of the 8300A are disconnected. In this mode, the
8300A functions as a stand-alone pre-amplifier.
The pre-amplifier section of the 8300A can be connected to a stereo power amplifier, or to
two monobloc amplifiers
