AMC CVT2030 - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION INSTALLATION
The AMC CVT2030 has been designed to give
superb sound quality and represents outstand­
ing value for money.
The CVT2030 is a hybrid mosfet valve design,
capable of giving superb sound reproduction.
The components are all of the highest quality,
but there are a few simple hints to follow in
order to get the best from your new amplifier.
1) Do not stand any object or other component
on the top. Whilst the 2030 is one of the coolest
running Class A valve amps available, uninterr­
upted air flow is most important.
2) There are two silent fans in the base under
each pair of EL34 valves. Again, the air space
under the amp must not be restricted in any
way. Never stand the unit on a carpeted surface
or anything soft, or on another component
which generates heat.
3) The amplifier will sound best when it
"warmed up", this can take 15-20 minutes.
IS
Your AMC amplifier is supplied set to work on
your local mains supply voltage. Check that
your local mains supply voltage agrees with the
voltage setting indicated on the back panel of
the amplifier. If not, please contact your dealer
or national distributor for details on how to
proceed further.
The cores of the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue
-Neutral
Brown -Live
Note: Export units for certain markets have
moulded mains plugs fitted as standard.
As the colours in the mains lead may not corr­
espond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked by
the letter N, or coloured black or blue. The wire
which is coloured brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked by the letter L,
or coloured red or brown.
4) The valves should last a very long time but
can be changed easily. However, as there is
always some voltage present inside, even when
the unit is turned off, we recommend that this
is carried out by your AMC dealer, it is only a
five minute job for an engineer.
5) We recommend you retain the original carton
and packaging so that it can be repacked corr­
ectly if it ever becomes necessary to transport
the unit or return for service.
FUSES
If the mains plug is fused, fit a 3amp fuse.
Your AMC amplifier contains fuses which are
designed to protect the amplifier and prevent
the occurrence of a dangerous fault condition.
These should only be inspected and replaced
by a competent engineer using the correct
replacement types.
6) After switching off, always let the amplifier
cool down before turning on again.
