• Obvezujući postovi: For other speaker wiring systems, use the binding posts. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
• Connect your loudspeakers to the corresponding Channel 1 and Channel 2 outputs. Verify that the impedance of your speakers matches the amplifier's capabilities (4 ohms or 8 ohms).

3.4 Priključak za napajanje

1. Osigurajte amplifier's power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC INLET on the rear panel of the amplifier and then to a grounded AC power outlet.

4. Upute za rad

4.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje

• Za uključivanje pritisnite UKLJUČITE SNAGU switch on the front panel. The Power LED will illuminate.
• Za isključivanje, pritisnite UKLJUČITE SNAGU ponovno prebaciti.

4.2 Adjusting Gain Controls

• Use the detented KONTROLE POJAČANJA on the front panel for Channel 1 and Channel 2 to adjust the input sensitivity.
• Start with the gain controls set to their minimum position (fully counter-clockwise) before playing audio.
• Gradually increase the gain until the desired volume level is achieved without the Clip LED illuminating frequently.

4.3 Razumijevanje LED indikatora

• LED za napajanje: Označava amplifier je uključen.
• Signalna LED: Svijetli kada je na ulazu prisutan audio signal.
• LED za isječak: Illuminates when the output signal is clipping (distorting). Reduce the input level or gain if this LED lights up frequently.

4.4 Using the Subwoofer/Satellite Crossover

The GX5 features a built-in crossover for optimized speaker performance:

• Pronađite KRIŽAČ prekidač na stražnjoj ploči.
• In PUNI RASPON način rada, amplifier outputs the full audio spectrum to both channels.
• In SUB/SAT mode, Channel 1 outputs frequencies from 20 Hz to 100 Hz (for subwoofers), and Channel 2 outputs frequencies from 100 Hz to 20 kHz (for full-range speakers). Adjust front panel gain controls to balance subwoofer and top box levels.

5. Održavanje

• Čišćenje: Redovito čistite vanjski dio amplifier with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure ventilation grilles are free from dust and debris.
• Ventilacija: Always ensure proper ventilation. Do not block the air vents on the front or rear panels.
