Operating Your Amplifier
Beginning Steps
1. Start the input sound source.
2. Make sure the LEFT and RIGHT volume controls on the front of the amplifier
are set to MIN.
3. Press POWER to turn on the amplifier. The blue light around the power
switch and LEFT and RIGHT volume controls will light.
4. Rotate LEFT and RIGHT volume controls to their middle positions.
5. One at a time, adjust MIC1, MIC2, MIC3, MIC4/PHONO, and CD/AUX to
the desired volume and balance.
If you hear feedback after you adjust these controls, turn FEEDBACK FILTER
clockwise until the noise disappears (see “Using the Feedback Filter”).
6. Adjust LEFT and RIGHT volume controls to the desired volume level after
you find your desired balance.
Monitoring Sound Sources
To monitor sound sources, plug a pair of mono or stereo headphones (not
supplied) with a ¼-inch (6.35mm) plug into the PHONES jack on the front of the
amplifier. Headphones sometimes make it easier to check and adjust the sound
source’s balance.
Listening Safely
To p rotect yo ur hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to
the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might
still damage your hearing.
