Mains supply and safety
Mains Supply: The mains operating voltage of all Audiolab units is
shown on the rear panel. If this does not match the voltage in your area,
consult your dealer.
The mains supply fuse is located on the rear panel of the unit. If it has
broken, check for any obvious cause before replacing the fuse with one of
the correct rating and type. The fuse values are:
220 - 240V (UK, Korea, etc.) T 2.5AL 20mm Slow Blow
100 - 120V (USA, Japan, etc) T 4.0AL 20mm Slow Blow
The fuse is located in a slide-in
carrier which also contains a spare
fuse. The fuse carrier can only be
pulled out after the IEC power cord is
unplugged. When the carrier is
opened the first fuse to be seen is the
spare fuse. Remove and safely
dispose of the fuse with the blown
link before replacing it.
Class II construction double insulated. This product must not be
connected to earth.
Power Cord: An AC power cord is normally supplied with a mains plug
suitable for your area. If you have any doubts, consult your dealer about
obtaining a suitable power cord.
Important notice to UK users
The appliance cord is terminated with a UK approved mains plug fitted
with a 5A fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved
BS1362 fuse rated at 5A must be used. If you need to change the mains
plug, remove the fuse and dispose of this plug safely immediately after
cutting it from the cord.
Connecting a Mains Plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the code:
Blue: NEUTRAL; Brown: LIVE:
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The BLUE wire must be connected
to the terminal marked with the
letter N or coloured BLUE or
BLACK. The BROWN wire must be
connected to the terminal marked
with the letter L or coloured

Power Amplifier Protection Circuits
Short Circuit Protection: If the output terminals are connected together or there
is a short caused by a faulty speaker or connecting lead, the amplifier will mute and
un-mute until the fault condition is removed.
DC Offset Protection: If there is an internal or external fault which may cause DC
voltage to be presented to the loudspeaker, the amplifier will mute and stay muted
until the fault is removed.
Thermal Protection: If the amplifier is driven excessively for long periods, or the
output devices are pushed beyond their safe operating area, the amplifier will
switch off and then switch back on again when it has cooled down.
In all cases, if the amplifier does not respond to remedial action, consult your dealer.
