READ THIS FIRST! For your safety! To prevent electrical shock or fire, do not expose electronic products to rain or moisture, and do not remove covers (or back). lf anything fails, leave the repair to a qualified technician. Pull out the power plug during thunder storms and when you are away for a long time (e.g. holidays, etc.). Warning! Faults on the units caused by the circumstances described in the warnings below, do not ne- cessarily apply for warranty service. Main power In some areas the main power wall outlet carries high frequency data and intercom communi- cations. To prevent this high frequency to reach the receiver/power amplifier, an HF filter should be connected in the power line. Ask your local Tandberg dealer if this high frequency is in your area. Should this high frequency reach the receiver/power amplif ier, and interfere with the electronics, damage may occur in the outputstage or the speakers. Connecting When connecting the units in a Hl-Fl system together, it is very easy to touch the hot wire on the phono lead and generate a hum signal. This signal can be amplified and cause damage to the receiver/power amplifier or the speakers. To avoid this problem, switch off all the units in the system before connecting. Speaker connection Use speaker systems with two speaker wires (+ and +) to each speaker. Some speaker systems have common ground between the speakers, and this may cause oscillation. lf this type of speaker system with common ground is used, damage may occur in the receiver/power amplifier or speakers.

Power requirements Make sure the power amplifier is marked at the rear panel with the correct mains voltage for your area*: US version: European version: GB version: n|GbmG)SATa'egba/S trl@oo@o C{Ig c'gc@,Erd**rq, ATntr'n s.lusd dr+. \oRSICKI brd*&l&rdsbr@i Changing the mains voltage setting and fuse (inside) should be carried out by a qualified service technician. The power consumption is 500 watt maximum.

Placing the amplifier The best position for TPA 3036A is free on a shelf with sufficient ventilation/space to each sides and the top, see figure. lf the shelf is open on the back, the space to the sides and the top can be slightly reduced. Never place the amplifier on soft surface that can impede ventilation or in front of or above a radiator. lf placing units on top of each other the power amplifier must always be positioned at the top. lmportant!: Never place any other equipment on the top of this amplifier, as this may cause damage to the other equipment. In rack, make sure that sufficient ventilation is available, for instance a fan.
