5. External Fuses
The AC mains fuse is located on the back panel of the amplifier. This fuse will not blow unless the amplifier is asked to produce more power than its design allows for a prolonged period or to prevent excessive current draw that could damage internal components during a fault condition. The amplifier has been designed to operate under virtually all conditions. Even momentary
Fuse Replacement
To remove the fuse, turn off the power switch and disconnect the power plug from the AC mains. Remove the fuse holder by lifting up the latch at the bottom and pulling the holder out. When looking at the fuse holder as installed on the back panel, the fuse on the right hand side is the active fuse. The fuse on the left is a spare. Remove the fuse on the right side and visually inspect it to see whether it has opened; if it has, discard it and replace it with the spare glass fuse. Reinstall the holder, and reconnect the AC mains.
If after replacing the fuse the unit is inoperative, service is required; contact your JBL dealer.
WARNING: Always unplug the amplifier from the AC mains before removing any fuse.
IMPORTANT:
Never install a fuse that has a
higher rating than the one specified on the back panel of the amplifier or in the owner’s manual.
6. Main Switch
Place this switch in the On position at all times during normal use.
7.Trigger Input and Output Jacks When using the AVA7 amplifier in a JBL Performance Series system with the AV1 Digital Surround Processor, you will need to use the trigger cable set included with the AV1. Connect the DIN end of the cable to the Trigger Output DIN jack on the rear panel of the AV1, and connect the 1/8" (3.5mm) plug to the Trigger Input Jack ¶ on the rear panel of the AVA7.
