Quick Set-Up Guide
PLEASE NOTE: WHEN USING THE REMOTE TO CONTROL THE ATP 8500
If you just can’t wait and want to get the ATP 8500 up and running as quickly as possible, here’s the quickest way:
Connections
1. Connect your power amp to the outputs (gold plated RCA connectors on upper right side) of the ATP 8500.
| The RR & LR outputs are for the additional 7.1 mode. Normally, you’ll just use the first 6 outputs for 5.1 operation. |
| |||||||||||
| FYI, the RCA outputs and the XLR outputs can be used at the same time because they have separate driver electronics. |
| |||||||||||
| Pin 2 is hot on the XLRs. |
