Figure 5. RCA Inputs
There are 2 pairs of RCA inputs on the back panel of the AMP102/110. These RCA inputs are labeled as “Line 1 IN” and “Line 2 IN”. They are also designated with an “R” or an “L” as Right channel or Left channel inputs respectively.
“Line 2 IN” should be used as the “primary” or normal input for various line level sources that may be available to the amplifier. “Line 1 IN” is a switching input that should be used when a second local source is connected, and will take over as the selected input whenever a signal with a minimum of 5mV of level is present. Whenever there is no signal at the “Line 1 IN” RCAs, or a signal with less than 5mV level, after
a 4 second delay, the input will revert back to the normal Line 2 input signal.
The built in delay of 4 seconds will automatically, in most instances, accommodate the nature of the source connected to the “Line 1 IN” RCAs. As an example, if the “Line 1 IN” source was a CD Changer, the delay should be enough to prevent switching back to the “Line 2 IN” source while the changer moves from one disc to another.
