PRESETTING THE CONTROLS

Before you begin making connections or using your amplifier, preset the
audio input sources' and the amplifier's controls to avoid overdriving a
channel or producing sudden unexpected loud sounds.

Presetting the Amplifier

Warning:  A sudden high output from the amplifier could damage your hearing
          or the speakers connected to the amplifier's output.

PLACING THE AMPLIFIER

Before you use your amplifier, be sure you place it in a location with 
adequate ventilation.  Do not put it on thick carpeting (which can restrict
air flow) or near a heat source such as a heat vent or radiator (which can
cause it to overheat).

PLACING THE SPEAKERS

Speaker placement depends on your room's size and arrangement.  We
recommend you play a wide-range recording and experiment with speaker
placement until you find the locations that result in the best sound.  For
the best results, point the speakers in toward the listeners, especially if
you place speakers far apart so their coverage areas overlap to prevent
dead spots (areas not covered by the speaker's sound). Position the
speakers slightly above the level of the listener's heads
