1. Power Switch

Pushing this button is all that is required to turn on the S5160 if it is not part of a Synthesis system and the Manual On/Auto On switch (rear panel) is in the Manual On position. If the amplifier is used as part of a JBL Synthesis system, and the Manual On/Auto On switch is in the Auto On position, the amplifier will turn on when the surround processor is activated. In this application, the front-panel pushbutton Power switch should be left in the ON (in) position. See the description of the Manual On/Auto On switch for more infor- mation on turning on the S5160.

2. Standby Indicator

This indicator, immediately above the front-panel Power switch, will glow red when the amplifier is in the “standby” mode, whether operating as part of a Synthesis system or not. When the S5160 is in the “on” mode, this light will shut off and the blue “on” mode indicators will light.

3. Power Indicators (Blue)

These indicators will light up when the power amplifier is in the “on” mode. Each monitors the operation of one channel, and will be extinguished if that channel’s protection circuitry is activated.

4. Input Jacks (Ch.1 Through Ch.5)

The output signals from the Synthesis digital processor and equalizer are connected to the input jacks in a Synthesis One system. We suggest that the channels be assigned as follows:

Amplifier #1:

Channel 1 Center Low-Frequency Channel 2 Center High-Frequency Channel 3 Right Front Low-Frequency Channel 4 Right Front High-Frequency Channel 5 Right Rear Surround

Amplifier #2:

Channel 1 Right Side Surround

Channel 2 Left Side Surround Channel 3 Left Front Low-Frequency Channel 4 Left Front High-Frequency Channel 5 Left Rear Surround
