Always wear protective eyewear when
using tools.
When routing cables, keep input signal
cables away from power cables and
speaker wires.
When making connections, make sure
that each connection is clean, insulated
and properly secured. Observe the
polarity markings on the rear panel.
Refer to the application drawings to set
up the amplifier for operation in stereo,
bridged-mono, bi-amp or tri-mode con-
figurations.
If the amplifier’s fuse must be replaced,
use only the same rating and type as a
replacement. Do not substitute another
kind.
