NSTALLATION
How t o sit e and connect your Saxon power ampl if ier
f or best per f or mance and saf e oper at ion
Please unpack your amplifier carefully and position
it on a stable, level surface close to a mains socket.
Before attempting to connect it into your system
please read this manual carefully.
The Saxon power amplifier will perform well when
placed on a coffee table or bookshelf but if you
wish to achieve the best performance we suggest
you place it on a specialist hi-fi support. There are
many suitable designs available, which your dealer
will be happy to advise you about.
Position the amplifier so that it will not be
subjected to high ambient temperatures: avoid
sites where it will be in direct sunlight or close to
NGLAND
a central heating radiator. For your own safety

- and your amplifier's well-being - do not allow
it to come into contact with water. Keep it away
from potted plants to avoid those all-too-common
watering accidents! To clean the amplifier's case
disconnect it from the wall socket and wipe it with
a barely damp, lint-free cloth or chamois leather. If
you suspect that water has entered the casework,
return the amplifier to your dealer so that he can
examine it.
Once you have installed the amplifier please do
not throw away its packaging. If you move home or
need to return the unit to your dealer or ourselves,
for example for upgrade or at the end of it's life
- see section on WEEE on the rear of this manual,
the original packaging will protect it and ensure it
arrives undamaged.

LECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Using your mains lead of choice, connect the
amplifier directly to a wall socket. We strongly
recommend that you do not use extension blocks
as they degrade sound quality. For the same reason
we also advise against "line filters" and "mains
conditioners". If your mains supply is noisy or you
have household appliances that generate clicks
and pops that can be heard through your hi-fi

system, have an electrician correct the problem
at its source. We do however recommend the use
of 'Merlin Cables' power chords which do not
interfere with the current flow and offer a significant
performance improvement.
Should you need to replace the fuse in your (UK)
mains plug, please fit only the correct replacement
type. This is a standard 5A.
If, for any reason, you wish to replace the plug or
cable, please note that the lead must be connected
as follows. NOTE: These instructions apply in the
United Kingdom only - consult your dealer about
wiring conventions in other countries.
Green and yellow wire connects to EARTH (E or
