HDT A-2100 Owner's manual

  • I have reviewed the user manual for the HTD Stereo Amplifier A-2100. This document provides details on product features, connection instructions (including wiring and settings), and safety precautions. It also describes how to use it in both stereo and mono modes, the meaning of the overload and power indicator and the use of the auto on/off function. I am ready to answer your questions about this amplifier.
  • How do I use the auto on/off feature?
    What does the overload indicator mean?
    How do I connect speakers in stereo?
    How do I connect a single speaker in mono?
