INSTALLATION MANUAL
Solution
1. Reduce gain to the channel in
question.
2. (a) Check for physical damage to
speaker.
(b) Ensure speakers have appro-
priate power rating for amplifier.
(c) Ensure speakers are rated @ 8
Ohm impedance. This amp is com-
patible with speakers with 8 Ohm
impedance or greater.
3. Check for proper input/output
connections at volume control. Input
comes from amplifier, output goes to
speakers.
4. Verify/correct Impedance Match
settings.
Verify that + of amplifier goes to +of
speaker and - of amplifier goes to -
of speaker on ALL speaker leads.
1. Verify/correct input connections.
2. Verify/correct speaker connec-
tions.
3. Verify/correct DIP switch settings.
1. Turn switch On. Switch is located
on the back of unit.
2. Reset circuit breaker. Ensure that
combined current draw of all devices
on circuit does not exceed the cir-
cuit's capacity.
