A message from the laboratory
Class A operation of the driver stage
The power amplification stage of most amplifiers have class B operation. But in the Kenwood L-A1, in order to fully drive the finai transistors, we've designed the
previous drive stage to have class A operation even under a load of only 4 Q. This reduces the actual amount of distortion in the power amplification stage to levels
never before realized, and allows you to enjoy clear, dynamic sound like never before.
Stand by mode of POWER switch
When the power cord of this system is plugged
into an AC outlet, the STAND BY indicator lights up
regardless of the ON/OFF setting of the POWER
switch. This indicates that a small amount
of
current is being supplied to the unit to back up
the memory contents. This mode is referred to as
the Stand By mode. While the STAND BY indicator
is lit, the power of the system can be switched
ON/OFF from the remote control unit.
Speaker protection circuits
When the ON/STAND BY indicator
begins flashing
rapidly, it means that the plus (+) and minus (-)
polarity of the speakers has been short-circuited.
If this happens, press the POWER key to turn off
the power, reverse the speaker connections, and
press the POWER key to turn on the power once
again. The amplifier should then return to normal
operation.
