Unpacking the AW 600

Immediately upon receipt of the AW600, inspect the carton for possible damage during

shipment.

The carton and packaging have been designed to provide the safest possible protection

for transport of your amplifier.

Unpack the unit carefully. Save all packaging materials for future shipment.

The contents of the carton

1 pcs Electrocompaniet AW 600 (amplifier)

1 pcs AC main cord.

1 pcs spare Main Fuse (located in the fuse drawer)

1 pcs inspection card.

Set up procedure

Before connecting the AW 600 to the mains, check that the main voltage indicated on the

rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in the territory where you intend to use the unit.

How to avoid damages

Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect equipment when power is turned

on.

The design of the RCA plug generates a huge transient when inserted.

Connecting or disconnecting equipment with the power on can result in severe damage to

both speakers and amplifier.

How to avoid noise problems

The AW 600 contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic strayfields.

The unit should not be placed near main transformers, TV sets, etc. Care should also be

taken regarding placement of the interconnect cables. Do not run interconnect cables in

parallel with main cords or speaker cables. Keep interconnect cables as short as possible.

How to avoid possible antenna problems

In some set-ups hum may occur when you connect the radio, VCR or TV to your system.

The problem is caused by DC voltage coming from your antenna.

Please contact your cable network operator.

How to connect your system

Please read this page carefully and follow diagram 1.

Inputs

Balanced operation only.

Outputs

SPEAKER OUTPUT:

Never short the positive or the negative output to ground or chassis.

Switch the amplifier off when connecting the speakers.

How to power up your system

You should always power up your system in the following way:

Signal sources (CD player, tuner, etc.) first, then preamplifier.

Allow a 30 seconds warm-up before you turn on the AW 600.

When switching off your system

Start with the AW600, then the preamplifier and at last the signal sources.

The main switch is located in the center of the lower part of the rear.

If the AW 600 has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up for optimal sonic

performance.

When the AW 600 is not to be used for a long period of time, use the main switch to turn the

unit off.

Then disconnect the AC main cord for maximum safety.

Important Notice

For optimal sonic performance, the AW 600 should be burned in for a minimum time of 72

hours.

The easiest way to burn in your AW 600 is to put a signal at the input, without the speakers

connected

If the AW 600 has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up to optimal sonic

performance.

Due to high class A operation in all Electrocompaniet designs, it is normal for the AW 600 to

feel warm.

Proper ventilation is important.

Never cover the ventilation area.

A good rule of thumb is to allow at least 3 - 5 cm (1 - 2 inches) of air sidewise, and 5 - 8 cm

(2 - 3 inches) above the AW 600
