OPERATION

When all connections to the amplifier are made, turn all rotary controls down and switch on the power. Turn BASS and TREBLE controls to the 12 o'clock position (pointing straight up) and turn the MASTER volume control up slightly for testing.

Ensure a signal is being fed to one of the inputs and gradually increase the volume level until the output is heard through the speakers. Turn up the MASTER volume to the required volume level.

Note: The initial test can be done using the built-in USB/SD audio player.

In addition to MASTER volume controls, there are BASS and TREBLE controls to adjust the tone of the overall output. At the 12 o'clock position, these controls are applying no effect to the signal (no boost or cut). Moving the BASS control clockwise boosts the low frequencies in the audio, whilst moving it anticlockwise will cut these low frequencies. Likewise, moving the TREBLE control clockwise boosts the high frequencies in the audio, whilst moving it anticlockwise will cut these high frequencies. Adjust these EQ controls to suit the type of audio signal or compensate for the room acoustics.
