Set the meter to DCV 2V. You should be getting a reading on the scale of around 0.65 (650mV=0.65V). It is lower you will have to adjust the Bias setting on the amp.

Good luck!

Rene

P.S.: Just a quick explanation of the different settings:

DCV: Measure DC voltages only (Battery, Bias setting etc.)
ACV :Measure AC voltages only (110 V wall plug, output of signal to speaker, output of CD player etc.)

DC: To measure current (in Amperes)

Arrow through a vertical line; Measure whether something is connected, e.g. to find out whether you have a loose contact etc. You should hear an audible sound!
