HOW TO MAKE BEST USE OF THIS
AMPLIFIER

This operation manual has been prepared so that even an
audio beginner can make the best use of this amplifier
throudt perusal.

Upon unpacking, place the amplifier at a location where
it is installed. In the following sections are detailed various
connection procedures to make this amplifier a control
center of the audio system, The procedures cover con-
nection to speakers, at power point, a record player, a tuner,
a tape deck, etc.

BASIC CONNECTIONS

The LUXMAN model 80507 is a pre/tnain (integrated)
amplifier. A stereo audio system can therefore be built by
proper connections from input sources (record player.
tuner, tape recorder, etc.) and to output loads (speakers,
headphones, etc). Above all connections to speakers and
specified single phase AC power point are the most basic
requirement.

CONNECTION TO SPEAKERS

The rigtt-hand side speaker (viewed from the listening
position) to the RIGHT speaker terminals and the left-hand
side speaker to the LEFT speaker terminals of the
amplifier. The positive (+l terminals are provided with
° mark for identification. Correct phase matching (positive
leads to positive terminals and negative leads to negative
terminals) between the right and left oaeakers is very
important. If mismatched, anti-phasing (phase between the
right and left speakers is reversed) is caused and normal
stereophonic reproduction may not be possible. Since the
amplifier provides two sets of speaker terminals (Main.
Remote), normally connect to the MAIN SPEAKER
SYSTEM terminals which are located top of the other.
In this one main speaker systems switch must be on.
Unless otherwise listening with other speaker system
(connected to the REMOTE SPEAKER SYSTEM termi-
nals) or headphone is made, the above switch is normally
selected at the ON position. Connection of the speaker
leads to the speaker terminals of this amplifier is easy.
First strip off the insulating shield of the lead at its tip for
approximately 7mm (1/4"). Then lift the handle of the
terminal and insert the lead tip into the terminaL Firm
connection is automaticallv established by presing down
the handle. For disconnection, lift the handle while pulling
out the lead. (See the photo illustration.)

CONNECTION T0 POWER POINT

Before connecting the power cable of the amplifier to a
stimble single phase AC power point, the volume control
must be cut (turned to the extreme counterclockwise
direction). Press the power switch to the ON position and
the pilot light at the from control panel lights up to
indicate the amplifier is in the operating condition.
