Emotiva MPS-1 manual 4Turn On Selector Switch, 5External Trigger Connection, Fuse #1, 7Fuse #2

4Turn On Selector Switch

This switch allows you to select how the amplifier will turn on and off.

In the ON (Up) position, the switch on the front of the amplifier is the method you will use to power up and power down the amplifier. Please note that in this configu- ration, you must manually power up and power down the amplifier each time you use it or it will have unnecessary standby current draw.

In the SIGNAL (Middle) position, the am- plifier automatically turns on whenever it senses an audio signal on any one of the seven amplifier channels. The circuit stays active for a full minute after the absence of any audio signal to account for quiet pas- sages of music or dialogue.

In the TRIGGER (Down) position, the ampli- fier’s ON and OFF functions are controlled by a trigger from a source or preamplifier device. The trigger accepts 12 VDC and will turn the amplifier on whenever a trigger is present (See #5). When there is no trigger, the amplifier goes into standby mode. This is the preferred method for activating the MPS-1.

5External Trigger Connection

This external trigger connection allows the amplifier to be turned ON and OFF by a control device such as a source unit or preamplifier. It can also be used with most home automation controllers. The trigger requires a 12 VDC trigger. This is the pre- ferred method of activating the MPS-1. See page 23 for connection details.

6	Fuse #1

This fuse is for the power supply of the MPS- 1 chassis. It is a TL15AL type rated a 15A, 250 V. If the fuse ever fails, be sure to replace it with the same type and rated fuse.

7Fuse #2

This fuse is also for the power supply of the MPS-1 chassis. It is a TL15AL type rated a 15A, 250 V. If the fuse ever fails, be sure to replace it with the same type and rated fuse.

8IEC Line Cord Socket

The MPS-1 comes with a detachable line cord which connects here. Plug the line cord into an AC wall socket which is cor- rectly configured with the voltage and current supply specified for the MPS-1. Do not plug this line cord into a power strip, it must plug directly into a wall socket. For more details on AC power considerations, see page 19.
