your new products are installed by an authorized dealer, your product will include a FIVE
YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY (1-Year for Digital models excluding PH2000W/D1 and

When in “AUTO ON” mode, the amplifier will automatically detect an incoming signal once the stereo is turned on. If
the amplifier does not detect a signal within 20 minutes, it will automatically shuts down.
When in “REMOTE ON” mode, the amplifier relies on the remote wire to detect a signal.

SIGNAL SENSOR
This new feature allows you to eliminate the use of a remote wire to turn on your amplifier.
NOTE: The RCA outputs must be inserted in CH1/2 for the amplifier to detect any incoming signal.
NOTE: In some cases when the amplifier is on “AUTO ON” mode, if your system generates noise through the RCA wire

and therefore waking up the amplifier, you may want to switch your amplifier installation to the “REMOTE ON”
mode (must use the turn on wire).
