Hi,
Switch the switches to the pentode/ultralinear mode by moving the switches toward the power transformer. The bias setting is .550 volts DC for each output tube. There is a small potentiometer near each output tube that you adjust to get the correct bias setting. Email me at Bob01605@aol.com and I can Email you the full ST-120 wired amp owners manual. The owners manual has a more detailed explanation on setting bias on the VTA amps.
