OPERATION

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The KSA-100S/200S/300S are the first high performance amplifiers to utilize remote control functions. The amplifiers can be switched on or offand the meter function can be changed from your listening position via the hand- held remote control.

The KSAremote control duplicates the front panel switches on the amplifi- ers. The Power button will turn the amplifier on and off, while the Meter button will choose between a full bias meter display or no bias LED illumination.

When the amplifier is switched On, the Blue POWERLED and Bias Level

Meter display will illuminate. Whenthe amplifier is switched Off, no LEDs will be illuminated.

Whenthe Bias Level Meter is turned off, no LEDs will be visible except for the blue pilot LED. Whenthe Bias Meter display is on, the bias level will be

displayed with the appropriate LEDs.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

NOTE:Batteries should be replaced when the KSAfunctions from the remote control become intermittent.

1.Remove the four hex head screws from the back of the remote control.

2.Remove the back plate to expose the battery storage compartment.

3.Replace batteries (Refer to the polarity drawing while inserting the batteries)

4.Replace the back plate and insert the four hex head screws.
