Testing the unit 30. Testing the unit (120 / 235VAC) From K8077 Power supply 120 / 235VAC Make sure that the IC’s are removed from their sockets. We recommend to construct a small test-jig, and connect the unit as shown below.

Enclosure assembly 31. Assembly of the enclosure Refer to the included mounting instructions. Mark all holes according to the diagram. Use a 2mm drill to pre-drill the holes Mark the two holes for the speakers, as indicated. Mark the hole for the reflex tube, as indicated Carefully cut-out the holes using an electric jigsaw If necessary, smooth the edges with sanding paper Mark the position of the wooden supports for the heatsink.

Enclosure assembly - Fix the speaker wires with some glue and trim them to a length of 20cm - Slide an insulating sleeve over both wires. Solder a connector to both wires and slide the insulating sleeves over the connector. - Fix the 4 plastic feet by means of a 23mm screw and put the enclosure on its feet.

Placement 32. Placement For best results, experiment with different positions. We recommend to put the unit between the main speakers. The closer to a wall or corner, the higher the efficiency (volume) will be, at the cost of a reduced sound quality. Remark: The unit is not magnetically shielded.

Connection 33. Connection Just below the power switch you will notice two AC voltage indications (120VAC- 235VAC). Strike out the one that does not apply with a black permanent marker. Use the supplied cord to connect the unit to the AC power grid. If necessary, cut the plug and replace it with a plug (not incl.) that fits your outlets.

34. Use Turn the volume control (OUTPUT LEVEL) fully counter clockwise before first • power-on. Turn-on the 'POWER'-switch. The 'POWER'-led will light. • The unit will either immediately turn on ('ON'), or wait for an incoming audio sig- nal ('AUTO-ON'), depending on the position of the 'MODE'-switch. If 'AUTO-ON' has been selected, the unit will automatically turn-on when an audio signal is present.
