2. Carefully replace the existing power tubes with the desired type (6L6 or EL34).
3. Locate the bias adjustment controls and LED indicators on the rear panel.
4. Porniți amplifier (Power then Standby) and allow it to warm up.
5. Using a small screwdriver, adjust the bias trim pots (A and B) until the corresponding LED indicators turn green. Refer to the markings on the rear panel for specific instructions.
6. If the LEDs are red, the bias is too hot; if they are off, it's too cold. Adjust until green.

Note: Incorrect biasing can damage tubes and the amplifier. If unsure, consult a professional.
