IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

azur integrated amplifier
AC power socket
Once you have completed all connections to the amplifier, plug the AC
Power Cable into an appropriate mains socket. The amplifier is now
ready for use.
Loudspeaker connections
The 340A has two sets of Loudspeaker terminals on the rear panel,
speakers A and B. Speakers A are the main speaker terminals, speakers
B are the secondary switchable speaker terminals. Connect the wires
from your left channel loudspeaker to the LEFT + & - terminals, and
likewise the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the RIGHT + &
- terminals. In each case the red terminal is the positive output, and the
black terminal is the negative input. Care should be taken to ensure no
stray strands of wire are shorting speaker outputs together.
Note: This amplifier has been designed for use with loudspeakers that
have a nominal impedance of between 4 and 8 ohms.
Please ensure that the speaker terminals have been tightened
adequately to provide a good electrical connection. It is possible for the
sound quality to be affected if the screw terminals are loose.
Tape mon
These sockets can be connected to a tape deck or to the analog sockets
on a MiniDisc or CD recorder. Connect an interconnect cable from the
recorder's Line Out sockets to the amplifier's Tape Monitor sockets. This
monitor doubles up as the standard tape/recording medium input.
Note: When connecting a source component that has both an input and
output i.e. a tape recorder, the output of should always be connected to
the Tape Mon input. This will eliminate howlround if the wrong input
channel is selected.
