Adjusting the balance
The balance setting allows you to increase the volume of
one channel (left or right) relative to the other. Altering
the balance may help to restore the stereo image for an
off-centre listening position.
Balance can be adjusted from the front panel or from the
remote control. Click the
button (or
on the
BALANCE
BAL
CR108) to view the current setting, then use the control
knob (or the
buttons on the remote) to change the
+/–
setting – from L9 to R9, via the neutral value 0.
Recording an audio source
The A19 allows you to record and monitor the sound
from any connected source.
The back panel
socket can be connected to the
REC OUT
input sockets of your recording device (these are usually
labelled
or
).

To record from a particular source, press the appropriate

Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with your amplifier, check the
following items.
No sound
Check the following:
The A19 amplifier is powered up and switched on.
<
The amplifier is not muted (i.e. MT (mute) is not
<
shown on the display panel; the power light is
showing green, not orange or red).
The selected source is generating audio (e.g., if CD
<
is selected, then the CD is playing).
The speaker outputs are connected on the A19 (or
<
on the power amplifier, in the case of a bi-amping
arrangement).
Sound cuts-out unexpectedly
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above
a safe level, then a thermal cut-out inside the amplifier
operates to protect the unit and the protection system
temporarily removes power to the speakers. The system
will reset itself as the heatsink cools down.
With two pairs of low-impedance speakers
<
connected (6
or less), overloads are more likely.
Ω
Overloading the amplifier may cause it to shut
down because of overheating.
Note that, due to the high output voltage from some
<
CD players, it is possible to drive your amplifier
at full power even though the volume is not set at
maximum.
