AUDIOVALVE Hi-Fi Amplifiers are intended for use under the following circumstances only:

To play and transfer music of any make and fashion when this occurs in private dwellings

or studios.

All devices must be operated under moderate climatological circumstances, comparable to

those under which human beings usually live. When the surrounding temperature is too high,

the device will heat up beyond its optimal parameters. This can damage the amplifier.

Proper ventilation will be needed, and the amplifier should not be covered in. Allow

approximately 3 cm of air sidewise and approximately 4 cm above the amplifier to cool

the amplifier.

Unusually high humidity of the air increases the risk of short circuits in the device

because

of the increased conductivity. This reduces the internal insulation values dramatically

and will eventually result in a malfunction of the amplifier. This increased conductivity

also might endanger the user of the device. In general terms the amplifier should not be

used for other than its intended purpose.

Factory assembly & getting started

Once the amplifier has arrived at its desired destination, make sure the amplifier has ample time to

adjust to the climate at its new location. It is likely that the changes in temperature and humidity

between the last location and the new one, has caused condensation to build up somewhere in the

amplifier.

This can damage the device. Please allow the amplifier at least two hours to acclimatise.

The amplifier comes fully assembled, ready to go. The power-cord should not be used as yet, please

connect all other input and output connectors first (cinch-cables, speaker-cables, etc).

The device MUST be switched off during it connecting to other components, it might be damaged if

this will be done with the amplifier under power. The person operating the amplifier might be hurt as

well in this case, since power-spikes, operating currents and voltage charges may occur!

Check whether the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. If so, you can now plug in the

power-cord.

Use high quality cables only! Usage of DIY cables, low spec cables or cables intended

for other use voids all warranty and cancels any product liability. Make sure all plugs are connected

tightly to the amplifier. When in doubt, replace the cable.

Always use the device in a 'complete configuration' , damages may occur when devices are not

connected to the amplifier when it is being run.

Never lift the device by its glass cover, not even when there are gripps attached to the cover. The

gripps and the cover are there for ornamental purposes only. They make the amplifier look nice.

The amplifier should be positioned at a level surface, in time the construction of the glass housing

may fail as a result of tensile forces.

Please disconnect and move the amplifier when you replace tubes. Replace them at a place where

you can work easily. You might damage the 'motherboard' if you replace the tube in an awkward

position. After that please check all connectors. If all connectors are undamaged, make sure the

switch is in the OFF position, reconnect the power-cord and switch the amplifier on. You can make

sure the amplifier is properly connected by checking the tubes. Only the inside of the tube should

glow. If the steel cover jacket glows as well, the device is faulty and must be serviced immediately.

As a rule of thumb the device should work now. Don't push the volume up to its maximum just yet,

allow the device to burn in smoothly and avoid power-spikes.

The LUMINARE Pre-Amplifier needs at least a 1.6 Ampere slow blow circuit breaker in the fuse

holder for 230 VAC main voltage and 3,15 ampere slow blow by 115 VAC. Make sure your wall socket is

equipped in such a fashion.
