Front Panel Assembly
Suggestion: You may want to place a towel on your work surface to ensure that you don't scratch the
panel.

Skip the steps involving the select switch and volume control if you do not have those options.
1. Notice that the LED has one lead that is longer than the other. This identifies the functions of
the leads – the longer lead is the anode and the shorter lead is the cathode. You will now
shorten both leads while keeping the length distinction.
• Cut the shorter lead on each LED to be ¼" long
• Cut the longer lead on each LED to be ⅜" long
2. Mount the Power-On LED in its hole and secure it in place with a drop of adhesive.
3. Install the Power on/off switch in its location on the right end (from the front) of the panel
using the supplied nut. Tighten the nut snug but be careful to not over-tighten the nut because
the thread is plastic and it may strip.
4. Install the input select switch in its location on the left end (from the front) of the panel using
the supplied nut. Tighten the nut snug but be careful to not over-tighten the nut because the
thread is plastic and it may strip.
5. Pre-wire the volume control
• Position the volume control such that the pins are facing up and the shaft is pointing
towards you.
• Notice that there are two rows of three pins each
• Solder a jumper wire between the left-most pin and the center pin on each row.
6. Install the volume control in the remaining hole.
