PRECAUTIONS
Thank you for purchasing this HI-FI product. Taking time to read these operating instructions carefully before use will acquaint you fully with all its features and help ensure optimum performance. In order to simplify the explanation illustrations may sometimes differ from the originals.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER(OR BACK) NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Danger: The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
Warning: The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture
Power plug
When disconnecting the power cord from the power outlet, always take hold of the plug, and not the wire, and pull free. Never connect or disconnect the power plug with wet hands since you may receive an electric shock. Remember to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet when you do not intend to use the unit for a prolonged period of time.
Do not remove the case and bottom panel
Any inspections or adjustments inside the unit may lead to malfunctions and electric shocks. Do not touch any of the inside parts.
Ventilation warning
The normal ventilation of the product shall not be impeded for intended use.
Installation precautions
Do not install the unit in any of the following locations since this may result in deterioration in performance or malfunction:
- Locations exposed to direct sunlight or near objects radiating heat such as heating appliances.
- Locations exposed to moisture or humidity.
- Locations with poor ventilation exposed to dust and dirt.
- Locations which are unstable and not perfectly flat or which are susceptible to vibration.
Do not wipe with thinners
Wipe the panels and case from time to time with a soft cloth. Using any kind of thinner, alcohol or volatile liquid will mar the surface, cause blotching on the exterior and erase the markings and should therefore be avoided. Do not use insecticide sprays in the vicinity.
Dripping warning
The product shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the product.
Connection
Speaker systems
Connect the speaker systems to the SPEAKERS terminals on the rear panel of the unit with the speaker cords. When viewed from the front (the listening position), the speaker mounted on the left should be connected to the L terminals, and the speaker mounted on the right should be connected to the R terminals. Be sure to connect the polarities of the speaker systems and the SPEAKER terminals correctly (+ to +, – to -). If the polarity of one of the speaker systems is connected improperly, sound in the central area between the speakers will appear to be missing, and the position of the instruments will not be clear, resulting in a loss of stereo directionality; so take care when connecting.
When connecting, do not allow the conductor of the speaker cords to be exposed from the terminals and come into contact with other terminals.
PHONO
Connect the turntable’s output cord L (white) plug to the L PHONO terminal and the R (red) plug to the R terminal. If your turntable is equipped with a grounding cable, connect it to the unit’s GND terminal. But disconnect it if you notice increased hum.
Tuner
Connect the TUNER terminals to the OUTPUT terminals on the tuner using the pin-plug cord.

Frequently Asked Questions
Amplifiers shouldn’t be left on since prolonged and continuous heat exposure might cause internal components, including the filament, to wear out. Quality and dependable amplifiers can run continuously for hours, days, or even weeks without experiencing any damage. It’s advisable to switch your amps off when not in use, though.
Two speakers are often a manageable load for most amplifiers. Similar to a passenger on a tiny motorbike: carrying two passengers doubles the load that the bike must carry, but most bikes can manage this. However, if you add more speakers than two, the amplifier will typically get overloaded.
A. Enter Wireless BT mode by pressing the MODE button underneath the LCD panel. C. Choose the Wireless BT name “Pyle Speaker” and wait for the device to pair.
Hi-fi systems should live much longer, roughly 10 to 20 years, or at least the speakers, turntable, and amplifier elements of those systems.
Run-in is required for all hi-fi gear, including headphones, Bluetooth speakers, CD players, amplifiers, turntables, and other parts. As the components break in and the drivers and crossover acclimate to their operating conditions, the sound alters over time.
Speaker ratings commonly range from 4 to 8 ohms. The typical operating range for amplifiers is, let’s say, 4 to 16 ohms. Check your specifications, but if so, you should be able to connect a speaker with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms.
How to Prepare. Put the receiver and amplifier close to the TV, find the audio jack and the audio input, and connect the cables to the receiver and amplifier. Before connecting, make sure all equipment is off. Before testing, make sure that the receiver amplifier’s level is on the low setting.
Actually, depending on how they were handled, amplifiers can lose power with time.
If you look after your equipment, it should last several decades. As was said above, capacitors and other items may need to be replaced after x years due to wear and tear.
The answer to the question “do amplifiers increase sound quality?” is no, in a nutshell. An amplifier is made to boost the levels of audio signals. However, neither the recorded audio nor the reproduction of such audio is meant to be improved, either objectively or subjectively.
Certain components (like capacitors) settle and work consistently thanks to the running-in process. The amplifier sounds great right out of the box and only gets better with use. Although the running time can change, we typically estimate 36 hours.
Amplifiers that manage excessive power without sufficient cooling airflow risk overheating. The system of your amplifier will go into protect mode if it becomes too hot to prevent melting. issues with the head unit or speakers. When your amplifier is connected, it may occasionally enter protect mode due to malfunctions in other audio system components.
Speakers may not be able to handle an amp’s power. The amount of electrical energy that speakers can transform into audio is a constraint. Generally speaking, harm is unlikely to occur if the amplifier generates more electrical energy than the speakers can handle. Instead, distortion or clipping may occur.
The purpose of audio amplifiers is to faithfully, effectively, and with little distortion replicate input audio signals at sound-producing output elements at appropriate volume and power levels.
It requires nearly 60 volts of peak-to-peak voltage to deliver around 100 watts to a conventional 4-ohm speaker. Most amplifiers have this voltage set to +30V and -30V in relation to the chassis’ ground reference voltage.
