Connect the "playback" leads of your tape
recorder to the phono sockets marked
"Tape in" on the rear of your amplifier
using phono/phono leads. If your tape
machine processing DIN outputs, then
DIN/phono leads, or a DIN/phono adaptor
can be used. If you experience level
matching problems when using DIN
connectors, please consult your tape
machine manufacturer.
PRE OUT/MAIN IN
Normally the pre-amplifier and power
amplifier sections of this unit are
connected together via factory-installed
U-shaped metal jumpers that bridge the
PRE-OUT and MAIN-IN jacks. Check to
be sure that they are fully inserted into
the jacks and that nothing is touching
them.
By switching OFF the power and
removing the metal jumpers, you can
connect a signal processor such as a
surround-sound decoder or an electronic
crossover in the path between preamp
and power amp. Connect a cable from
PRE-OUT to the processor's input and a
second cable from the processor's output
to MAIN IN.
LOUDSPEAKERS
Your AMC amplifier is designed to drive
loudspeakers with a nominal impedance
of 4-8 ohms.
However,XIA30 can only drive 4 ohm
speakers by switching the impedance
selector on the rear panel of the unit to
the 4 ohm setting.
LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS
The loudspeaker output terminals will
accept 4mm(banana)plugs, spade
connectors, pin connectors or bare wires.
Connect the negative side(usually black)
of your left hand loudspeaker lead to the
black terminal of the two terminals
marked "left" on the rear of your amplifier.
The other side of your left hand speaker
lead (the positive side or red) should be
connected to the red terminal marked
"left". Repeat this operation for the right
hand loudspeaker.
Your AMC amplifier is capable of
generating high peak currents, so all
connections must be checked to avoid
inadvertent short circuits and to ensure a
good clean contact.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
THE OUTPUTS BE SHORTED TOGETHER.
Such action will damage output circuitry
and is not covered by guarantee.
HEATSINK/VENTILATION REQUIRE-
MENTS
The heat produced by your AMC amplifier
during normal operation is dissipated by
an during normal operation is dissipated
by an internal finned heatsink. It is
perfectly normal for your amplifier to
becomes quite warm and to radiate heat
when in use, especially if it is run near full
power. However, if it becomes too hot to
touch, switch off at once and contact your
dealer.
It is very important that there is adequate
ventilation for the whole of the amplifier.
Do not place the unit on a rug or other
soft surface that it could sink into,
obstructing the air inlets on its underside,
and take care not to obstruct the outlet
grille on the top cover.
AC Selector (115V or 230V)
The AC Selector will be set to the AC
power voltage of your country from
factory. But in case if your XIA30/XIA50 is
not received directly from factory or you
move from one country to the other, the
AC selector might be set at different
voltage. So, before plug power cord into
