Model PA635

NOTE: The PA635 may also be powered ON/OFF with an external AC line switch into which the power cord of the PA635 is plugged (such as the switched AC outlet of a preamp, timer, etc. with a 10A rating). For this type of operation, leave the POWER switch depressed to the MANUAL ON position.

4.Status LED Indicators. These indicators, one for each channel pair, provide the following status information:

a)They show Power ON/OFF and Standby ON/OFF conditions.

b)They flash Amber 5 times during power up, then turn steady Green when Power On Mute releases. This action occurs whether the unit is powered ON and OFF by the POWER switch (item # 3) or by a DC voltage applied to the REMOTE MASTER ON/OFF CONTROL terminals (item #13). Be sure the rear panel master AC LINE ON/OFF Switch, item #17, is set to the ON (I) position for the above to occur.

c)They will go off when the Standby OFF IR command is received. Sending a MUTE OFF command will restore operation. Also, each LED blinks with Volume action for that channel.

d)A Mute command will cause the channel LED to blink Green (Red if Volume is within 5 dB of Max-V). Mute is released when any other PA635 command is sent.

e)Changing an IR Code Group will cause them to blink Amber, confirming the change has taken effect.

f)When the volume level is increased to a range within 5 dB of MAX-V, the LED color changes from Green to Red. NOTE: Red indicates that volume gain setting is approaching maximum --- not an indication of power output level.

5.Line Inputs. These RCA-type jacks are the audio inputs for each of the amplifier pairs. Connect them to the OUTPUT jacks of the driving preamp with good quality RCA-type patch cables. Note that the inputs are marked LEFT-1-RIGHT, LEFT-2-RIGHT, etc., signifying the stereo channel pairs. Both the LEFT and RIGHT jacks are also active when the MODE switch (item #7) is set to the MONO or BRIDGED mode.

6.COMMON BUS / LOCAL Switch. Switches the amplifier stereo pair inputs between the LOCAL (LEFT/RIGHT) jacks, item #5 and the COMMON AUDIO BUS (LEFT/RIGHT) jacks, item #8. In this way, each amplifier pair can be driven by separate zones or sources or from a common source via the COMMON AUDIO BUS.

7.MODE Switch. Switches the amplifier pair between STEREO, MONO and BRIDGED modes.
