So, now you can connect the different elements of
your system (CD, tuner etc.) to the appropriate
cinch (RCA) inputs at the rear of the amplifier.
These are the source inputs – they are identical.
Use high quality shielded cable in order to avoid
‘
parasite noise’ and a weakenin
g
of the treble
frequencies. The listening of the sound source is
obtained by selecting the appropriate source.
POWER IN allows you to attack the power section
directly. Use the Direct button on front plate and/or
the remote control handset.
It is not affected by the volume control.
You can connect, for example, an A/V processor
(the volume control of the processor will then be
active); a mixing desk or any other source that
delivers 2V RMS and has a volume control.
The PRE OUT output allows you to use the output
of the preamplifier.
The volume of the signal depends on the position of
the potentiometer on the front plate.
The gain of the preamp is graduated in decibels -
0dB corresponds to a unitary gain. This output is
permanently available and does not depend on the
remote control handset.
This is a output/input loop for all types of recording
systems. The si
g
nal on the monitor output is that of
the input selected and does not pass by the
preamp. The output of the recorder is connected to
the input MONITOR IN.
This input is independent of the other inputs and is
validated by the MONITOR on the front plate or by
the remote handset.
Turning on : The main on/off switch is situated on
the rear plate. Turn on the amplifier with this

in blue on the front plate (8) ; the amplifier is in
stand-by mode. With normal use, you don’t need to
turn off with the rear plate switch; use the POWER
button situated on the front plate.
Never turn off the amplifier with the rear switch, nor
disconnect the mains cable without having first turned off the
unit with the POWER button as this can damage the power
section.
