Manual for the AVI Integrated Amplifier Online Guide for True Audiophiles
Quote from Jedi on April 10, 2026, 10:30 amI got incredibly lucky when a friend who was moving abroad gave me his old AVI Integrated Amplifier. I had heard a lot about this British brand and its crystal-clear sound. However, when I brought the unit home, I was at a bit of a loss. There are few controls on the front panel and many inputs on the back. I’m not sure which input is best for connecting my turntable so that I don't overload the signal. I’ve also noticed that it gets quite hot while running. Is this normal for this model, or should I urgently find a technician to check the quiescent currents?

Quote from Jedi on April 10, 2026, 10:31 amCan anyone advise me on how to properly adjust the input sensitivity on this amplifier? One more thing: I don’t have the original remote control. Is it possible to find a universal remote so that I can at least adjust the volume without getting up from the couch? I’m afraid I'll damage these delicate electronics due to my lack of knowledge, so I’d appreciate any user tips or information on where to find official recommendations from the manufacturer.

So I just started searching for information about it and came across the ManualMachine. There, I found the original user manual for AVI Integrated Amplifier . It turns out that this amplifier is designed to operate within a specific temperature range, so the amount of heat it’s generating is normal. Do you keep it on an open shelf or in a closed cabinet, by the way? Have you checked to see if it has a built-in phono preamp or if you need to connect an external one?
