Connections and Controls

Please refer to the following scheme and instructions:

FRONT PANEL:

REAR PANEL:

1. POWER SWITCH: Illuminated on/off switch. Before switching on the system, always adjust the volume to zero.

2. CHANNEL 1: Gain control for Ch. 1. Turn clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain.

3. CHANNEL 2: Gain control for Ch. 2. Turn clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain.

4. CH. 1 CLIP: This LED will light dimly and increase in brilliance as clipping becomes more severe, staying on until
clipping ceases;

5. CH. 2 CLIP: This LED will light dimly and increase in brilliance as clipping becomes more severe, staying on
until clipping ceases;

6. CH. 1 PROTECT: When a problem occurs that causes a channel to go into a Protection Mode, this Led lights
and stays on until the problem is solved;

7. CH. 2 PROTECT: When a problem occurs that causes a channel to go into a Protection Mode, this Led lights
and stays on until the problem is solved;

8. BRIDGE/STEREO: Selector used to choose between STEREO and BRIDGE Operation Mode. In STEREO mode,
each channel within the pair remains independent, and each may be used for a different signal. In BRIDGE mode,
the setting combines both channels of a pair into a single channel with twice the output voltage. Use only the

input and gain control channel 1. Set the channel 2 gain control at minimum.

9. STEREO: This LED lights up when the Amplifier is operating in Stereo mode;

10. BRIDGE: This LED lights up when the Amplifier is operationg in Bridge mode;
