INTRODUCTION
The AMC CVT2030MKII has been de-
signed to give superb sound quality and
represents outstanding value for money.
The CVT2030MKII is a hybrid mosfet
valve design, capable of giving superb
sound reproduction. The components are
all of the highest quality, but there are a
few simple hints to follow in order to get
the best from your new amplifier.
1) Do not stand any object or other com-
ponent on the top. Whilst the 2030MKII is
one of the coolest running Class A valve
amps available, uninterrupted airflow is
most important.
2) There are two silent fans in the base
under each pair of EL34 valves. Again, the
air space under the amp must not be
restricted in any way. Never stand the unit
on a carpeted surface or anything soft, or
on another component which generates
heat.
3) The amplifier will sound best when it is
"warmed up", this can take 15-20 minutes.
4) The valves should last a very long time
but can be changed easily. However, as
there is always some voltage present
inside, even when the unit is turned off, we
recommend that this is carried out by your
AMC dealer, it is only a five minute job for
an engineer.
5) We recommend you retain the original
carton and packaging so that it can be
repacked correctly if it ever becomes
necessary to transport the unit or return
for service.
6) After switching off, always let the ampli-
fier cool down before turning on again.
INSTALLATION
Your AMC amplifier is supplied set to work
on your local mains supply voltage. Check
that your local mains supply voltage
agrees with the voltage setting indicated
on the back panel of the amplifier. If not,
please contact your dealer or national
distributor for details on how to proceed
further.
The cores of the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Blue
-Neutral
Brown
-Live
Note:
Export units for certain markets
have moulded mains plugs fitted as
standard.
As the colours in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows: The wire which is
coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked by the letter N,
or coloured black or blue. The wire which
is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked by the letter
L, or coloured red or brown.
FUSES
If the mains plug is fused, fit a 3amp fuse.
Your AMC amplifier contains fuses which
are designed to protect the amplifier and
prevent the occurrence of a dangerous
fault condition. These should only be
inspected and replaced by a competent
engineer using the correct replacement
types.
