ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting Idling Current
Required measurement equipment: DC Voltmeter
1. Preparation
(1) Avoid direct blow from an air conditioner or an electric fan, and adjust the unit at normal room temperature 15 °C ~ 30 °C (59 °F ~ 86 °F).
(2) Presetting
# POWER (Power source switch) STANDBY
# SPEAKER (Speaker terminal) No load
(Do not connect speaker, dummy resistor, etc.)
2. Adjustment
(1) Remove top cover and set V101,V201,V301,V401,V501,V601,V701,V801,V901 on 9CH AMP UNIT at fully counterclockwise (c) position.
(2) Connect DC Voltmeter to test points (FRONT-Lch: N9039 9pin-10pin, FRONT-Rch: N9040 1pin-2pin, CENTER ch:
