This warranty covers labor and replacement of parts acknowledged to be faulty, and not normal wear and tear.
Devices showing traces of disassembly, drops, immersion, abnormal voltage, or any cause of degradation and damage resulting from a contrary use of the indications included in this owner manual, automatically lose the benefit of the guarantee.

Cautions
- Do not make any connections when your device is powered on.
- Put your amplifier in a dry and well-ventilated place, far from sources of heat.
- Do not place anything on your amplifier.
- Avoid any short-circuit.
- Respect polarity [+] and [-] and switch left & right connections.
- Do not plug two speakers in parallel on the same output.
Advices
- To optimize the performance of your device, switch it on at least half an hour before any listening, to allow the power stage to reach its ideal working temperature.
- Your device will provide optimal listening quality after this time-lapse.
- Between uses, it is therefore preferable to leave the device on so that it remains at its optimum temperature.
- At night or when you leave your home, it is best to use the main switch to turn off the device.
- To optimize the sound quality of your system, we recommend choosing good-quality connection cords. Do not hesitate to ask your specialist dealer for advice.
- Your Amplifier is equipped with a temporised switch-on. A relay protects loudspeakers on the output power stage from over-voltage.
