power-on when signal is present; after 10 minutes with no signal, unit will enter standby mode. For Auto-On the power switch is left in “ON” position.
Phase Control
Normally set to Nor. In rare instances, due to your unique sound system or the size of your room, the output may be out of phase. If the sound is hollow or the volume knob has little effect, set to Rev to compensate for these factors.
Line Level Input
Connect to the line level, subwoofer, or LFE output of your receiver, pre-amp, or power amp. Do not use if Speaker Level Inputs are connected. For single mono input: plug into either R or L terminal, or use a y-adaptor.
Speaker Level Input
Use when line level outputs are unavailable from your receiver, pre-amp or power amp. Your existing stereo speakers can share these terminals, allowing you to add bass to any stereo or home theater system. Always maintain speaker polarity by connecting positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on this unit with corresponding terminals on your existing speakers and source.
Do not use if Line Level Inputs are connected.
Main Power Inlet & Fuse Holder
Accepts IEC type line cord. A fuse located in the integrated holder provides safety from fault conditions: replace fuse with one of same type and rating only.
Main Voltage Selector
Voltage selection switch is preset to 115V (USA). For use in areas which require 230V contact your dealer. Fuse must be of type and rating marked on amplifier for use at local mains voltage.
Power Switch
Turns unit on and off in Normal power mode. Leave set to “ON” when using
Auto-On power mode.
