plugged into the socket (15) on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains supply. The Mains power
switch (16) is on the rear panel of the Integrated Amplifier. This switch is normally left on. If the unit is likely to be
unattended for a long period, switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the wall.
