Install Instructions For:

P3-35

The P3-35 is a 2 or 3 channel amplifier with Dolby Digital ® decoding. It is designed to be used with either an analog or digital input from a TV or other audio source. With a digital input it automatically senses Dolby Digital and PCM and switches modes. The P3-35 takes the input signal from an audio source, decodes it and outputs either a 2 or 3 channel amplified signal to a sound bar or set of speakers. When set in the 2 channel mode it will take a stereo or multi-channel signal and mix it down to 2 output channels (left and right). When set in the 3 channel mode it will take a stereo or multi-channel signal and mix it into 3 output channels (left, right and center). In either mode there is a sub out option.

When used in place of internal TV speakers, change the TV’s audio setting to external speakers. Teach the P3-35 the TV’s volume codes and it seamlessly operates with no additional remotes.

Standby and sleep settings

There are two modes the P3-35 can operate in; Standby and Sleep. Setting the P3-35 in the standby mode disables the auto-on input signal sensing. In this mode the P3-35 can only be turned on by pressing the Volume control On/Off switch or through RS232 control.

Setting the P3-35 in the sleep mode enables auto-on input signal sensing and will turn the P3-35 on when there is a signal present and will automatically turn off when there is no signal for 5-7 minutes.

Note: The P3-35 goes into standby mode 5 minutes after it stops sensing a signal provided the amp is set to standby mode.

The P3-35 will be switched into networked sleep mode in 5 minutes after it stops sensing a Bluetooth or wired audio signal provided the amp is set in sleep mode.

Setting the operating mode:

1. With the on/off switch in the off position (Red LED).

2. Press and hold the on/off switch for 10 seconds or until the LED starts blinking for 3 seconds.

3. If it blinks Blue it is in Sleep mode

If it blinks Green it is in Standby mode.

4. To change the mode repeat step 2.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules / Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
