plifier  by  pure  electronic  circuitry 

is available in the LRS family.  This 

connector is  used for connection to 

the 5E24 PEAK INDICATOR when 

it is available. 

11. SPEAKER TERMINALS

Connect  the  speaker  system  to 

these  terminais.  Speaker  cables 

must  have  sufficient  capacity  for 

carrying audio output loads. 

Correct  connection  is  very  im­

portant.  Checks  must  be  made 

whether  the  right  channel  output 

terminais  are  connected  to  the 

right  speaker,  and  the  left  channel 

to  the  left  speaker.  Also  correct 

phase matching 

is a 

must. Caution is 

neœssarv  that  the  core  lead  is not 

short  circuited  to  any other  termi­

nais  or  cables.  To  connect  the 

speaker  cable, strip off the shield at 

the  end  of  the  cable  for  approxi­

mately  10mm (3")  and  twist  the 

core  leads.  Turn  the  knobs  on the 

speaker  terminais  to  the  complete 

counter-dockwise  end (  0  ) , and 

insert the core leads into the termi-

nal  holes  from  the  left  hand  side. 

The insertion of the(+) and the(-) 

leads must be made simultaneously. 

Then  fasten  the leads in the termi­

nais  by  turning  the  knobs  clock­

wise. 

The  laï_out  of  the  speaker 

terminais is L (±), L

from top to bottom. 

For  further  details,. refer  to  the 

"CONNECTION  OF  SPEAKER 

SYSTEMS" section of this  manual. 

12. OVERCURRENT  PRO­

TECTION  FUSE

This device is provided to protect 

the  amplifier  from  breakdown 

caused  by  unexpected  abnormal 

current  flow  within  the  circuit. 

Especially,  it  functions  to  protect 

the  amplifier  when short circuiting 

takes place at  the speaker terminais 

or  cables of speakers.  ln the event 

sound  playback  is  suddenly  inter­

rupted, immediately disconnect the 

power plug from an AC power point 

and  check  this  fuse  - - - turn  the 

fuse  holder  cap  counter-clockwise 

(  0  )  to  remove  the  fuse.  If  it 

was blown off, replace with a spare 

provided.  Connection to the power 

point  must  be  practised  only after 

check  and  correction  of  the  cause 

of  overcurrent  flow.  The fuse used 

is  a  quick-blow  5A  capacity  fuse. 

The upside fuse is for the left chan­

nel and the downside  fuse, the right 

channel. 

13. AC  MAINS  POWER

CORD

Connect. the AC  plug at the end 

of this cord to an appropriate single 

phase  AC  mains  outlet  in  your 

listening  room. 

For  use 

with 

the  modal  5C50  control  (pre) 

amplifier  of  the  same  LAS family. 

which  is  of  a  DC  amplifier,  the 

power plug of this cord can be con­

nected  to  the  AC  OUTLET 

(SWITCHED)  of  the  5C50  and 

leave  the  power  switch  ON.  By 

this  the  ON/OFF  switching of  this 

amplifier  is  coupled  with  that  of 

the preamplifier . 

14. EXTRA AC OUTLET

You  can  supply  AC  power  to 

other  audio  equipment  through 

this  outlet.  The  terminal  (UN­

SWITCHED)  is  independent  of 

the AC power  switch of this ampli­

fier.  The  maximum  capacity  is 

500W. 

Note  that  in some  countries this 

outlet is not  provided, because  it is 

not allowed by law.
