Input Gain Control: The input gain control is not a volume control. It matches the output of the source unit to the input level of the amplifi er. Turn the source unit up to about 3/4 volume (if the source unit goes to 30, turn it to 25). Next, slowly turn (clockwise) the gain on the amplifi er up until you can hear audible distortion, then turn it down a little.
Crossover Switch: Use the XOVER switch on the end panel of the amplifi er to set the internal crossover to OFF, HI or LO. When the switch is set to OFF, a full bandwidth signal will be amplifi ed. Set the switch to HI if you want the amplifi er’s internal crossover to serve as a
“OFF/HI/LO” switch setting with the audio system on!
Crossover Control: The variable crossover on the front of the amplifi er allows you to adjust the crossover frequency from
Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost control on the front of the amplifi er is designed to give you increased output,
