BEFORE STARTING

Dear customer,

Thank you for choosing the Magnat RV 3 valve amplifier.

Please read the following information carefully before starting to use the RV 3.

GB

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Please read the instruction manual carefully before use and keep it in a safe place.
• This device is only intended for use with 230 V/50 Hz AC voltage.
• Only operate the device at an ambient/room temperature between 5^ and 30^ .
• A valve amplifier generates a lot of waste heat. Make sure there is sufficient ventilation for the device. There must be a minimum gap of 10cm between objects to the side and to the rear. The area above the amplifier should be as free as possible, however there should be a clear gap of at least 30cm to other objects.
• Do not place any objects on top of the device (magazines, CD/record cases, etc.).
• Please do not position any sources of heat, such as radiators, ovens, naked flames or other devices that generate heat in close proximity to the device.
• The device and the remote control should not be exposed to dripping or splash water or high levels of humidity.
• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be places on the unit.
• In the event of contact with moisture or liquids remove the mains adapter immediately.
• Only clean the device using a dry cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or chemical solvents when cleaning, as these could damage the surface of the device.
• The mains cable must always be operational. The device should not continue to be operated if there is visible damage to the mains cable. A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.
• Do not connect or remove the mains cable with damp hands.
  • Always refer to a qualified specialist for any maintenance or repair work.
• If the device is not used, it should be switched off at the mains.
• Please remove the mains plug in the event of thunderstorms.
• Only connect the device using a 3-pin power cable with ground wire (earth)! This is part of the original accessories. Only use this original accessory for the power supply or a power cable that has been examined with regards to its safety (e.g. with a TÜV or VDE certificate).
• The safety function of the power cable's earthed plug should not be impaired in any way. The earthed plug has two contacts as well as a protective earth contact (i.e. a total of 3 contacts). The protective earth contact is important for operational safety and it must be in contact with the protective earth contact of the wall socket which supplies the device with electricity. If the earthed plug of the supplied power cable is not applicable with the socket (power supply) in your country, please refer to a qualified technician to exchange the cable.

This symbol warns the user that high voltage is used within the device which can result in electric shock.

This symbol makes the user aware that there are important notes in the enclosed instruction manual which must be observed.

WARNING:DO NOT OPEN! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

ATTENTION!

THE TUBES BECOME VERY HOT DURING OPERATION. BODILY CONTACT CAN RESULT IN BURNS.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL

In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC all electrical and electronic appliances must be disposed of separately via local collection points. Please observe the local regulations and do not dispose of your old appliances with normal household waste.

Battery disposal

Old batteries are hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with current regulations.

INITIAL OPERATION

• Place the RV 3 on an even surface. Observe the relevant clearance gaps as specified under "Important safety instructions".
  IMPORTANT: Do not place any objects on top of the device (magazines, CD/record cases, etc.).
• Connect your speakers:

Single Wiring:

The stereo speakers (impedance of 4 to 8 ohms) are connected to the rear as follows:

graph TD
    A["Terminal 1"] --> B["Component 1"]
    C["Terminal 2"] --> D["Component 2"]
    B --> E["Output"]
    D --> E
    style A fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    style C fill:#f9f,stroke:#333

Only use high-quality audio speaker cables with a conductor cross section of min. 1.5 - 2.5 mm². Strip approx. 10 mm from the cables and twist the ends. Loosen the terminal screws one after the other and insert the stripped ends into the holes. Re-tighten the terminal screws. Make sure you pay attention to the correct polarity.

You can also use prefabricated cables with 4mm banana plugs or forked fittings.

Bi Wiring:

The RV 3 offers the opportunity to operate speakers in a bi-wiring mode by using a second terminal pair. This means that the woofer and tweeter elements of the speaker are connected to the amplifier with separate cables.

    style B fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style C fill:#cfc,stroke:#333
    style D fill:#fcc,stroke:#333

Also observe the operating instructions for the speakers you are using.

• Connect your audio sources to the analogue connections.
• Connect the supplied mains cable to the rear and then insert the other end into a 230V socket.
• Turn the volume knob to the left to a low volume setting.
• Switch on the RV 3 using the power button on the front panel.
• When the tubes have heated up the device is ready for use.
• Select your desired audio source using the input selector switch.

PROTECTIVE CIRCUIT

To ensure maximum protection for the amplifier and the connected speakers the RV 3 is equipped with a protective circuit. In the event of a short circuit, overcurrent or DC offset it separates the speaker outputs from the amplifier. In this case "PROTECT" is indicated in the display. The device must be disconnected from the power supply and the cause of the malfunction determined. Start by checking the wiring of the speakers. If the malfunction occurs again, please contact a specialist and get the amplifier and/or the speakers checked.

TUBE REPLACEMENT

The device has a high quality preamplifier stage which is equipped with two tubes. The tubes have a very long service life when used under normal operating conditions (min. 20,000-50,000 hours). If it is necessary to replace the tubes, please refer to a specialist dealer.
