POWER indicator Tips on sound quality You will get better sound quality 10 to 30 minutes after you turn on the A-1VL. To avoid degrading the sound quality, do not tie audio RCA/phono cables and speaker cables together in a bundle.
OFF: The audio signal from the component connected to the A-1VL will be output. Notes: • While the DIRECT function is turned on, the A-1VL works as a power amplifier and the VOLUME control of the A-1VL will not change the volume level. Instead, when you turn off the DIRECT function, the A-1VL outputs the audio signal at the level that its volume control is positioned.
There’s no sound, or it’s very soft. • When you use the A-1VL as a power amplifier (when the DIRECT function is turned on), the sound from the component connected to the preamplifier will be output. If you want to output the sound from a component connected to the A-1VL, or when you use the A-1VL as a preamplifier, use the DIRECT button to turn off the DIRECT function.
