The MCC204 will turn On or Off when the Control Center turns On or Off.

Note: There must be an Amp ON connection between the MCC204 and the signal source unit in order for the amplifier power turn On and Off to function.

In the Three Channel, Tri-amp Mode, channel 1 operates as a 50 watt amplifier for the tweeter, channel 2 operates as a 50 watt amplifier for the mid-range and bridged channels 3 and 4 operate as a 200 watt amplifier driving a woofer. Re- fer to figures 7 and 8.
