3.8Status Indicators

“CLIP” indicates when Channel 1 is clipping. “PROT” indicates when the power supply protective circuitry has been engaged. It may be necessary to cycle the power to reset the protective circuitry. “PWR” indicates that power is present in the amplifier. “SIG” indicates that signal is present at the input of the amplifier.

3.9Programming Port

This port is used by SLS to program the EEPROM for DSP processing data. It requires a proprietary interface and is not user assessable.

3.10Programming Selection

This switch allows the selection between two different EQ settings stored in EEPROM. Pushed in is optimized for a single PLS8695. Pushed out is optimized for two PLS8695s stacked on top of each other. This is "boot up" enabled so in order to make the EQ change: power off the PLS8695, select the button position desired and re- power. It will boot up with the selected EQ programming.

3.11Mute Switches (in - signal passes, out - muted)*

These switches mute the individual amplifier channels for setup and troubleshooting purposes.

* Buttons are reversed from typical settings to protect them from damage when they are in typical positions.
