Operation
1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set the
volume to minimum.
2. Set the TVC-1 volume to maximum (fully clockwise).
3. If you are using a Niles speaker selection system, locate the
on/off button which corresponds to the speaker pair you
wish to play. Set it to the ON position.
4. Turn on the amplifier or receiver and select a source, such
as the tuner or CD player.
5. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to
a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. Be careful not
to overdrive or “clip” your amplifier. If the sound becomes
muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of your
amplifier's volume capability and should quickly reduce the
volume to avoid damaging your speakers.
6. Using the knob on the front of the TVC-1, adjust the vol-
ume of the speakers to the desired listening level.
7. You can turn off the speakers by turning the knob on the
TVC-1 fully counter-clockwise, or by pressing the on/off
button on your speaker selector.
