Installation and cooling

The unit can become hot depending on the demanded output power or environmental

temperature. Therefore, it is important, that the cooling air can flow unhindered into the air

inlets in the bottom and flow out through the holes in the rear panel. Direct exposure to

sunlight is not recommended because this will heat up the unit and may cause unwanted

malfunctions.

Heat sensitive objects such as candles, plastics, records or CD's may also be damaged by the

generated heat of the MA / SA 6.2. Great care should also be taken to ensure small children

do not burn themselves by accidentally touching the amplifier(s). The housing does not feel

extremely hot to adults but small children generally react more sensitively.

PLEASE NOTE

The installed transformers emit magnetic stray fields. To prevent interference, it is

recommended to not place the unit(s) either directly on or near the pre-amplifier or record

player.

Connect the unit to the mains outlet (12) by using the power cord which is (in some countries)

delivered together with the unit. Make sure the mains voltage is according to the value printed

on the rear panel of the amplifier (near mains connector). Set the mains switch (13) to on (push

once).

CAUTION: Keep the unit switched off until all audio connections are made. Also, keep your

loudspeakers disconnected when switching the unit on for the first time.

Switch on the unit by pressing the power button (1). The unit performs a self-test while the

AVM logo appears on the display (4). During this procedure, you will hear clicks in short

succession from the switching relays of the driver stage and supply unit. When this initial

check is passed, switch off the amp at the mains switch (1, push once). Now the unit is ready

to be connected to your hi-fi set. After a few seconds the unit is switched on and ready to

operate.

NOTE: In case one of the operating modes auto, remote or trigger have been set, the

amplifier goes to standby right after the initial self-test (see section 2.6)

When this initial check is passed, switch off the amplifier again at the mains switch (13). Now

the unit is ready to be connected to your sources and loudspeakers.

Depending on the weather outside during transport, the unit might still be cold after unboxing.

In this case, we recommend to place the unit in your listening room and let it 'acclimatize'

without a mains connection for at least one hour.
