SAFETY PRECAUTIONS A triangle with a lightning symbol draws the user's attention to "dangerous voltage" without insulation in the cabinet which may be high enough to entail a risk of electric shock. A triangle with an exclamation mark draws the user's attention to important instructions for use and maintenance in the accompanying manual, which should be studied.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ AND OBSERVE BOTH THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE UNIT. KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. This unit was designed and manufactured with a view to providing maximum safety for the user. Incorrect use of the unit may cause electrical shock or fire. The protection devices built into this unit will protect the user if the procedures below are observed in connection with installation, use and repair.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Lightning Unplug the unit for additional protection during thunder or when the unit is not used for prolonged periods. This will prevent damage to the unit from lightning and power surges. Penetration of objects and liquid Never push any foreign objects through the openings into the unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts and thus cause fire or electric shock. Do not spill liquid on the unit.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Handling instructions Condensation Condensation may occur in the following cases: The top and back panel of the unit may become warm after prolonged use. This is not due to a defect. When the amplifier is moved directly from a cold to a warm place. Turn off the power when the unit is not used. When the amplifier is used in a room where the radiator has just been switched on or a place where the cold air from the air-conditioning system is directed at the unit.
CONNECTION Connection to the mains 230-240V AC~50Hz Do not turn on the power before all connections have been made correctly. Check that all connections have been made correctly before turning on the power. Check that the mains voltage is 230-240V AC50Hz before turning on the power. Connection to the mains Check that all other connections have been made correctly before inserting the mains plug into the wall socket. Then insert the plug into a suitable socket.
REMOTE CONTROL Installation of batteries Remove the cover as illustrated. Replace the cover. Position two batteries of the type AAA/R03/UM4 in the battery compartment.

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS Using the function menu The AMP-50 features a "function menu" that allows adjustment of the following: Master volume, bass, treble, balance and loudness (see menu structure below). A description of the individual functions will follow on the next few pages. Volume control Default setting Bass control +/- 14dB Treble control +/- 14dB Balance control -37,5 -0dB L or R Loudness On or Off Volume control 1 Press the VOL+ button to increase volume and press VOL to reduce volume.
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS Bass control This amplifier features bass control that allows adjustment of the bass level by +/- 14 dB, from 45Hz to 259Hz. Please note that the high bass boost level offered by the bass control may lead to permanent damage to your loudspeakers if the high volume is used for prolonged periods. 1 Press the BASS button on the remote control to activate the bass tone control. 2 Press VOL+ and VOL- to adjust the bass level.
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS Balance control This amplifier features balance control that allows adjustment of the volume of one loudspeaker at a time by +/- 38,75 dB, divided into 32 steps. This function is used to compensate for a non-centred listening position, and makes it possible to get back the stereo perspective.
