BEFORE THIS AMPLIFIER IS PLUGGED IN, make sure its rated voltage corresponds to the voltage of the AC power
source to be employed. Failure to use the correct voltage could cause damage to the amplifier when the AC power cable is
plugged in. Do not exceed the rated voltage by more than 10%; operation below 90% will degrade performance or cause the
unit to shut off.

possible external problems. If there is Output, determine if

A) Insulation Resistance Test

With a 500VDC Insulation Tester, Check
insulation from the outer metal contact of the
RCA jack (chassis) to the line neutral of AC

B) Hi-Pot Test

If a UL approved Hi-Pot tester is available, test

Observe all of instrument manufacturer's
instructions and safety warnings in performing
