The service manual is as described and received the link to the download sooner than expected. Great service, quality product. This site is a big help in the electronics repair business.
I ordered this manual sometime in the afternoon and I received it on my e-mail the same evening.
This is a fantastically good and properly scanned copy of the original manual. All pages are of the same scale and they overlap each other. It means that you can print the manual and easily make it as a convenient paper manual.
The content of the manual is fantastic. Alignment descriptions, PCB layouts and elementary diagrams are explicit and precise. I immediately found what I was looking for. Thanks to this manual and Owner-Manuals.com my amplifier is alive again. Many thanx indded!

REPLACING BATTERIES
The A-10/A-11 has a dual power supply that consists of main batteries and a back-up battery. Be sure to load the main batteries before using the A-10/A-11 for the first time after purchasing it. Also, replace batteries as soon as possible after they start to lose power. Important! � Never remove both the main batteries and the back-up battery from the A-10/A-11 at the same time. If you do, data stored in memory can be corrupted or lost entirely. � Use two AA-size alkaline batteries or the optional rechargeable battery pack for the main power supply and a CR2032 lithium battery for the back-up power supply. Never use any other types of batteries with the A-10/A-11. � Be sure to keep track of the battery life of both the main batteries and the back-up battery. If the batteries being used for both power supplies are low at the same time, data stored in memory can be corrupted or lost entirely.
Replacing the Main Batteries
1. Make sure the A-10/A-11 is turned off. If the A-10/A-11 is on, press the power switch to turn it off. 2. Close the A-10/A-11 and turn it over. 3. Slide and hold the battery holder release towards �REPLACE BATTERIES� and then carefully slide the main battery compartment from the A-10/A-11.
Note that the main battery holder release actually consists of two separate buttons. Slide and hold both of them towards �REPLACE BATTERIES�.
Grasp the center of the main battery holder when you slide it from the A-10/A-11.
