The Link button is normally set to the in position to give all six stereo inputs individual sources. When a channel Link button is set to the out position, that channel is (Left/Right) linked or cascaded to input #1 (without the use of Y cords). Any or all combinations of linked inputs 2 to inputs 6 are possible. When all inputs are linked to input one, the input impedance is about 8500 ohms.

Note: When linked unused RCA inputs can be used as outputs to other amplifiers.

Note 1: Ideal speaker impedance is 6-8 ohms.

Caution: NEVER connect the KES400 or KES600 to impedances less than 4 ohms or amplifier damage not covered by the warranty may occur.

The “SENS” pot controls the level threshold setting of the automatic power on and off to all channels. Each channel turns on and off individually.

Power On

Initially adjust the “SENS” on to about 1/3 level. Turn on a source to one or more channels and see if the channel turns on (observe the front panel led). With soft music on, the channel should sense the music and turn on. If it does not turn on, try turning the “SENS” adjustment counter clockwise slowly until the channel turns on.

Power Off

If the channel does not turn off about 3-30 seconds after a source has been muted or shut off, adjust the “SENS” slowly clockwise and wait 30 seconds. If it still does not turn off, turn it a bit more clockwise and wait another 30 seconds. Keep doing this until the channel turns off in 3- 30 seconds.
