MAINS CONNECTIONS Your amplifier has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this complies with your local supply. Export units for certain markets have a moulded mains plug fitted to comply with local requirements. If your unit does not have a plug fitted the coloured wires should be connected to the appropriate plug terminals in accordance with the following code. GREEN/YELLOW EA

OPERATIONAL NOTES SWITCHING SINGLE-ENDED 11 / PUSH-PULL 24: This amplifier has the unique feature of being able to choose between two circuit topologies. You are able to switch between each mode while the amplifier is turned on and playing music. In SINGLE-ENDED mode the amplifier uses both 300Bs in parallel. The advantage is a minimalist circuit requiring no "phase splitter",The disadvantage is a less efficient circuit that produces a fraction of the power of PUSH-PULL. In PUSH-PULL mode eac

5.) The correct bias reading in "Single-Ended" mode is 550 mVDC. A reading of 540-560mVDC will be within specs. The bias in single-ended mode was set at the factory. If, however, the S-E bias reading is out of spec after warm up, the bias may be adjusted as follows: 6.) Carefully turn the amp on it's left side, Be sure to brace the amp so as to prevent roll over. 7.) Locate the 1/4'' round hole in the bottom cover, near the front group of ventilation slots. 8.) Make sure the amp is in S-E mo
