9 PRE OUT CONNECTION COLLEGAMENTO DELL’USCITA PRE A “pre” output is available to use the Maestro Integrated Amplifier as preamplifier together with an external power amplifier, to drive an active subwoofer or to drive a second power amp to multi-amp your speakers. Connect the power amplifier or the subwoofer inputs to the PRE OUT outputs.
10 REMOTE CONTROL TELECOMANDO IN+ Press to select next source. Pressing IN+ when source 6 is selected gives source PH1. Premere per selezionare la sorgente successiva. Quando è selezionata la sorgente 6, la pressione di IN+ seleziona la sorgente PH1. IN- Press to select previous source. Pressing IN- when source PH1 is selected gives source 6. Premere per selezionare la sorgente precedente. Quando è selezionata la sorgente PH1, la pressione di IN- seleziona la sorgente 6. MUTE Press to enter/exit mute.
11 OPERATION FUNZIONAMENTO Once all connections have been correctly made (please check twice!), make sure the volume control is turned completely anticlockwise then turn the unit on by pressing the power switch on the rear panel. On the front panel, the power indicator will glow red to indicate that the unit is in standby. After about one second, the unit is ready to operate. The standby button can now be pressed to exit the standby mode.
12 BURN-IN PERIODO DI RODAGGIO Long and exhaustive listening tests have shown that the best sonic performance is obtained after a "burn-in" period of at least 200 hours. Once the unit is fully "burnt-in", best sound quality can be obtained after about 40 minutes warming up. Lunghe e complete prove d'ascolto hanno dimostrato che le migliori prestazioni sonore si otterranno dopo un periodo di "rodaggio" di almeno 200 ore.
13 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE Avoid opening the unit - No further servicing than that described in this manual should be attempted by the user. Refer all servicing to authorised Audio Analogue dealers and qualified technicians. Do not expose the unit to heat - Keep it away from heat sources such as direct sun, cookers, radiators, etc.. Do not use the unit near water or in excessively humid or dusty areas. Do not allow liquids to spill on the unit.

16 TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY Power led off and no sound Power cord incorrectly inserted and/or amplifier switched off Check that cord is inserted both in the amplifier’s mains socket and in the wall AC outlet and that the switch is in the “ON” position CAUSE REMEDY Mains fuses burnt out Check the fuses in the fuse holders (unplug cord from mains first!) next to the special 16 Amp socket and eventually replace with same type SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY Power led red and no sound Amplifier in stand
17 RICERCA GUASTI SINTOMO CAUSA RIMEDIO Led “Power” spento, nessun suono Cavo di alimentazione non inserito correttamente e/o amplificatore spento Controllare che il cavo di alimentazione sia collegato all’amplificatore e alla presa di corrente e che l’interruttore di rete dell’amplificatore sia in posizione “ON” CAUSA RIMEDIO Fusibili di rete bruciati Controllate i fusibili di rete nei portafusibili vicino alla vaschetta di rete da 16A (scollegate la spina di rete dalla presa di corrente prima!) ed ev
