Ambient conditions
The remote control has a range of up to 6 m and works without any problems from
a radiating angle of up to 30° in relation to the front of the equipment. Dust on the
transmitter or dirt on the receiving sensor and operating it in the vicinity of fluores-
cent lights might reduce the range. A direct line-of-sight connection between the
transmitter and the receiver is needed.
Notes about the removal and the correct environmentally-friendly disposal of old
batteries
The symbol shown here can be found on the equipment‘s enclosure,
the packaging as well as in the documents or the operating manual.
It tells you that batteries provided with the equipment as well as those
supplied with or fitted in other units must never be disposed of in house-
hold waste. They must be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way (in compli-
ance with the local regulations or European Directives 2002/96/EU and 2006/66/EU).
You should find out where the nearest collection point for electronic scrap is or
where the recycling site is.
Correct disposal of the equipment and the batteries will help to preserve our
resources and prevent physical and environmental damage. The battery (CR2032)
supplied with the remote control contains lithium and it must be disposed of in an
environmentally-friendly way as described above.
Proceed as described in the following section to replace or remove the battery fit-
ted in the remote control.
1. Undo the screw in the cover underneath the remote control and then remove
the cover.
2. Remove the battery by sliding it out of its holder.
3. You must ensure that the new battery‘s polarity is correct when you fit the new
one! The side of the battery marked with (+) must point upwards so that it makes
contact with the part of the holder marked with (+).
4. Refit the cover and use the screw to secure it in place.
Installing
1. Select the correct voltage required on the back of the unit amplifier that match-
es the voltage coming from the mains supply. Use the power cable supplied in
the package to connect the equipment up to the mains supply.
2. Check that the unit is switched off.
3. Connect up the auxiliary units that you want to use to the equipment‘s inputs.
(AUX 1 - 3, PC, TV, DVD, Tuner, CD) right channel = red / left channel = white or the
symmetric analog XLR inputs (A5 model only) can be used with any compatible
signal source.
(XLR pin assignments: Pin 1= ground; Pin 2 = plus / signal; Pin 3 = minus)
4. The screw terminals at the back are used for the speaker connections.
5. (See back of the equipment: right channel = 1 / left channel = 9). You must also
ensure that the plus and minus connections on the amplifier concur with the plus
and minus connections on the speakers in order to prevent polarity reversal.
6. Now switch your amplifier own.
Switch the mains switch (11) into the ON position on the back. The standby LED
on the front will come on.
7. Now press the On / Standby button (1) on the front or the button (2) on the
remote control to start your equipment.
Note:
As your A5 / A3 uses a special power-saving standby circuit, you can always
switch on / off during normal operation using the On / Standby button on the unit
or the RC-1 remote control.
The RC-1 remote control makes it easier for you to change
your settings.
Mute (button 3)
Balance setting (buttons 6 & 7)
Multilevel display brilliance setting (button 15)
Input level setting for all inputs (button 14)
Example: Input level setting
Use buttons 8 (-) or 9 (+) to select the signal source and then press button 14 (Prog.)
and use the volume buttons (4 & 5) to set up the input volume to suit yourself. Press
button 14 (Prog.) once again to save the settings.
