FUNCTIONS

Level Controls – Allows any of the channels to be adjusted independently to raise or lower the output of each channel.

R R+L L Switch – When BUS or OPTICAL input is selected, this switch is used to direct the channel to play the left signal from the input “L” or the right signal from the input “R”, or combined right and left signal from the input “R+L”.

LINE Mono Switch – Allows each zone to play a mono sound output from local LINE inputs.

SUB OUT – Provides a full-range Pre-Out audio signal, perfect for powered subwoofers. Can also be used as a loop output for channels 1 and 2.

Mono L+R Switch – Combines the Zone Output Left and Right channels to mono signal output.

POWER MODE SELECTION

There are three ways to turn the amplifier on and off:

1. Manual – Use this selection when you wish to manually turn the amplifier on and off by using the front power button.

2. Trigger Use this selection to turn on the amplifier when it receives voltage (3-24V A/C or D/C) from an external source and turns off once that voltage has stopped. The voltage source must be connected to the trigger-input jack on the back of the amplifier.
– 3-24V DC/AC Trigger in – 3-24V AC or DC input to trigger power up with voltage from another device, such as a receiver. The voltage source must be connected to the trigger-input jack on the back of the amplifier.
– 12V DC Control Out – The 12V output jack on the back of the amplifier can be used to turn on a variety of components equipped to be activated when they receive a 12V DC output.

3. Audio Sense – The amplifier will automatically turn on when the amplifier’s main input receives an audio signal. At the moment that either the left or right input jacks receive a signal, the amplifier will automatically turn on. Once the signal stops, the amplifier automatically goes into standby mode.
