Ensure your unit is switched off and that the volume
control knob is at its minimum.
Please note that your 2010S Integrated Amplifier
may take up to 48 hours to "run-in" before reaching
its optimal performance. Each subsequent "run-in"
will then take about 30 minutes.
The Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier is fitted
with an over current sensor which will switch off the
speaker output in the event of a speaker wire short
circuit or excessive current. To reset the output,
switch off the Amplifier for 5 minutes.
For optimum performance,
use Exposure speaker cables with your Exposure equipment.
