NOTE: The amplifier uses high current circuitry. Do not unplug the cable while
the amplifier is on.
The moulded IEC plug of the supplied mains lead should be plugged into the AC Mains
Input socket on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains supply. The
Mains Power Switch is on the left front underside of the amplifier. This switch can be left
on; if however the amplifier is likely to be unattended for a long period, switch it off and
unplug the mains lead from the wall.

In accordance with standard practice, the upper row of phono sockets carries the Left
Channel and the lower row carries the Right Channel.
All the inputs and outputs use gold plated RCA Phono connectors and should be
connected accordingly:
Left Channel – Black; Right Channel – Red
RCA Input Connections
There are five line level inputs and will accept virtually all currently available source
components.
Phono RCA Input Connections
The Phono Input is factory set for Moving Magnet Cartridges to accommodate record
players fitted with MM phono cartridges.
If you wish to use a Moving Coil Cartridge, an in-line MC step-up transformer should
be connected to the Phono Input. Alternatively a dedicated Phono Stage can be
connected to one of the line level inputs.
AV and Bypass RCA Input Connections
The AV Input is like any of the other RCA inputs and should be connected to the source
(TV, STB, etc) so that the K3 Integrated Amplifier is used as the volume control.
The Bypass Input should be connected to your AV amplifier's left and right pre-amplifier
outputs. It is directly connected to the power amplifier section of the K3 and bypasses
the pre-amplifier. The volume is then controlled via the AV amplifier and not the K3.
You could also use the K3 Integrated as a power amplifier in this mode.
The two inputs are linked via a switch. When the switch is set to Bypass, then the AV
Input will be deactivated and the Bypass Input will become activated. Likewise, when
set to AV, the Bypass input will be deactivated.
In both instances, when using either of these inputs, the AV input on the front should be
selected.
RCA Pre-Out Connections
There is a pre-amplifier output for connecting to a subwoofer or power amplifier.
