- Make sure amplifier is connected to a load with the proper
impedance selected.
- Power up amplifier on STANDBY and let the circuit stabilize
for a couple of minutes.
- Locate the male three pin molex connector (CON2) with the two
mini-pots (PR1 and PR2) on both ends found on the bottom of the tube
bay.
- Connect DMM (set to read mV) with alligator leads, reference
common lead to center pin (pin2) on molex connector CON2 and positive
lead to pin1 on CON2.
- Take amplifier off of STANDBY with no signal, adjust mini-pot
(PR1) closest to pin that the positive lead from your DMM is connected
to and set it to the mV voltage that is listed in the chart below.
- Repeat steps 4 & 5 for pin3 and until both pin1 and pin3 mV
are the same.
