This turns the main power to the IPS-1 on or off. It is a main power button, but it is not required to turn this on and off each time the IPS-1 is used. When enabled, the AUTO ON/OFF MODE will automatically switch the amplifier on when an audio signal comes from a source or control unit (such as a preamplifier). The TRIGGER MODE will turn the amplifier on when an external source (such as a preamplifier) provides a 5-24 VDC input on the trigger terminals.
