Don't put your equipment next to TV, radio, etc., because of interference or distortion. If you connect other parts of the system, be careful of ground loops. The best way to avoid ground loops is connecting the electrical system ground to one central point ("star" system).

Stereo Operation For stereo (dual channel) operation, set the mode select switch to the “Stereo” position. In this mode both channels operate independently of each other, with their input attenuates controlling their respective levels.
Switches and controls AC-Power-Switch-Circuit-Breaker Never try to hold the switch in the „ON“-position, if it won’t stay there by itself. The amplifier has a combined AC-switch/Circuit-Breaker on the front panel. If the switch shuts off during normal use, push back to the ON position once. If it will not stay on, the amplifier needs servicing switches and controls. Input Attenuator Whenever possible, set attenuates fully clockwise to maintain optimum system headroom.
Input Attenuates The two input attenuator controls, located at the front panel, adjust gain for their respective amplifier channels in stereo mode. With attenuate fully clockwise at 0 dB, professional power amplifiers have the rated power (when the rated input is 0,775V) In bridged mode, only channel A’s attenuate controls the power level, while channel B’s does not function.
