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.

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

Como evitar problemas de ruido
La etapa de potencia AW 600 contiene delicados circuitos, sensibles a los campos
magnéticos. Esta unidad no deberá ser situada cerca de transformadores, aparatos de
televisión, etc. También se deberá tener cuidado con la colocación de los cables
interconectados. No sitúe cables interconectados de forma paralela a otros cables
principales o de los altavoces. Mantenga los cables interconectados todo lo cortos que le
sea posible.
Cómo evitar posibles problemas de antena
Es posible que a veces se oiga un zumbido cuando conecte una radio, un vídeo o una
televisión a su sistema. El problema es decido al voltaje CC de su antena. Contacte con
su operador de cable.
