USE- AC Power Switch and LED Indicators

AC Power Switch

Above and to the right of the AC entry connector is the Power switch. The switch is labeled POWER ON, above it.

To turn the power on: Press in on the upper portion of the rocker switch. Both DSP-3’s blue Power indicators should illuminate after a brief amplifier startup sequene.

To turn the power off: Press in on the bottom portion of the rocker switch. It may take a few moments for the Power LED’s to extinguish. This is normal.

LED Indicators

Each Processor has two LED indicators, PWR and SIGNAL. The indicators are located on the rear panel of the 215PCM.

PWR- When the 215PCM is connected to a properly rated and working AC supply circuit and is turned on, the blue PWR LED on each of the Processors will illuminate. When the system is powered up correctly, two blue Power LED’s will be visible; one on the Top Box Processor and one on the Sub- woofer processor.

SIGNAL- The SIGNAL LED indicates input signal presence and strength. It is

dual brightness to give an indication ofLED indicators. input signal strength. The SIGNAL LED

will illuminate dimly at -40 dB. At -20 dB it will light brightly.
