For 8 Ohm Speakers, connect the negative
(black) speaker wire to the'common' negative
binding post.
Then connect the positive (red) cable to the 8
Ohm red binding post.
Repeat for the right speaker.
For 4 Ohm speakers, the negative (black)
connections are the same as the 8
Ohm, but
the
positive or red connection must
be to the
4 Ohm
binding post. Your AMC amplifier
is capabIe 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 BE
OUTPUTS THE SHORTED TOGETHER.

POWER SWITCH
The amplifier is turned on by depressing the
power switch. The small indicator above the
switch
will
glow green.
Before switching on,
always set the volume control to minimum to
avoid damage to your loudspeakers.
Note: Your AMC amplifier will play music almost
immediately after being switched on. However,
in common with other audiophile products, the
internat circuits take some time to stabilise fully,
and the best possible sound quality may not be
obtained until the amplifier has had some time
(possibly an hour or two) to warm up.
INPUT SELECTION
lhe
rotary input selector switch selects which
input signal (Phono, CD. Tuner or Aux) is fed to
the power amplifier. The selected signal is also
fed to the
'Tape
out' sockets for recording.
TAPE MONITOR SWITCH
The Tape Monitor switch is generally left in the
'Source' position so that the programme
selected by the input switch is routed to the
loudspeakers/headphones. If the Tape Monitor
switch is turned to the 'Tape' position, the signal
from the tape recorder is routed to the
loudspeakers/headphones.
If your tape machine is a three head type suitable
for AlB monitoring, then turning the Tape Monitor
switch to the 'Tape' position will allow full off-tape
monitoring of the recorded signal to be carried
out via the loudspeakers/headphones.
VOLUME CONTROL
The Volume Control is of a split type and allows
you to adjust the levels of the left and right
channels for both loudspeakers independently.
Normally, the two halves of the contral knob
rotate together as they are locked together by a
friction clutch inside the volume control itself.
However, buy holding the rear part of the contral
firmly with the first finger and thumb of one hand,
it is possible to alter the relative position of the
two parts of the knob, and thus compensate for
