is located on the rear panel of
the amplifier (refer to the rear panel drawing on page 4).
This switch should be left on for normal operation, except
when left unattended for a long period. In this case the
mains power should then be switched off or the product
disconnected from the AC supply.
Refer now to figure 2, front panel drawing on page 7.
When the amplifier is in regular use and power is
permanently applied, the STANDBY key

can be used
for power control. The Standby light
