Volume Control

To increase volume, rotate volume control clockwise.
At any given position of the volume control the actual

ent output levels of different sources. Therefore prior to
changing source or recording we suggest you fully
lower the volume control and re-adjust to the desired
listening level.

Rotating the balance control clockwise from its
centered detented position will decrease the output of
the left speaker. Rotating the balance control counter-
clockwise will decrease the output of the right speaker.

General Information

Although all Acurus components are burned-in prior
to delivery, it has been our experience that the amplifi-
ers continue to improve during the first 250 hours of use.

Although all Acurus amplifiers contain comprehen-
sive protection circuitry, they still may be damaged
due to misuse. Therefore please use the following basic
safety precautions:

Allow adequate ventilation on top and all sides of the
Acurus amplifiers. Never place directly on carpeted
floor.

NEVER attach or remove speaker cables or input
cables with the amplifier on.

Remove power cord from wall outlet when chang-
ing fuses.

Be very careful with the placement of a_H your
systems wiring. Many times placement of wiring will
alter the amount of background noise or hum that is
audible.
