The DS48 offers many powerful functions. It is highly recommended that you read through this manual before you begin connection and operation. For those that are familiar with this type of device or if you simply can't wait to hear how good your system will sound, a Quick Start section follows on pages 4-5.

SOME TERMS THAT WILL BE USED IN THIS MANUAL:

Configuration: This refers to a particular group of settings, with the primary parameter being the crossover type.

Program: A program is a configuration with either the factory default or a user-created name.

Configuration and Program may be used interchangeably, though a configuration must be programmed for a program to exist.

WARNING! To prevent possible speaker or amplifier damage, always power-up peripheral devices first, wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the power amplifier. Turn off power amplifier first, then power-down peripheral devices.
