Setting up your A80 amplier
Balance – Once selected, use the Control knob to shift the
balance between Left and Right channels.
Volume ResolutionRES 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 amplier. The amplier 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 ampliers 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 amplier settings, including input trims,
to their factory defaults.
The A80 allows you to adjust listening settings to suit your
taste, and to customise various features of the amplier to t
your system. Use this diagram to help you navigate through the
