1. POWER SWITCH
To turn the unit ON or OFF, press the upper or lower portion of this button. Before turning on the amplifier, check all connections and turn down the level controls. A momentary muting is normal when turning the amplifier on or off.
(Caution: Always turn on your power amplifier last, after all your other connected equipment, and always turn off your power amplifier before your other connected equipment.)
2. POWER LED INDICATOR
This LED illuminates when the power is turned “ON”.
3. CLIP (PEAK) LED INDICATORS
These LEDs illuminate if any section of the power amplifier’s output are within 3dB of clipping. Occasional blinking of the LEDs are acceptable, but if they remain on more than occasionally you should turn down either the power amplifier’s level controls or reduce the output level of the preceding component to avoid audible distortion or hard clipping.
(Note: Operating the amplifier at hard clipping can result in overheating or may damage your amplifier over a period of time. Amplifiers that are damaged due to such user neglect, or improper operation, are not covered under warranty.)
4. SIGNAL LED INDICATORS
These LEDs illuminate to confirm the presence of an input signal greater than 100 mV at that channel of the amplifier
5. PROTECT LED INDICATOR
This LED illuminates if the power amplifier’s output connection is shorted or the load impedance is too low. When the LED is lit, turn OFF the power and check the output’s connection to verify that it is correct, then turn ON the power again.
6. LEVEL CONTROLS
These control the level of signal coming into each channel. The actual voltage gain of the amplifier is shown in dB. Turn these controls counterclockwise if the peak LEDs illuminate steadily (indicating too strong an input signal).

7.POWER CONNECTOR
The cord connector is used to connect the AC power source to your power amplifier.
(CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE CENTER GROUNDING PIN.)
8.FUSE
If this fuse blows continuously, shut off the unit and have it
serviced by qualified service technician. 115V AC ~6A 250V FB; 230V AC ~4A 250V FB
9.AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
Before plugging in the power cord, check to see that the unit is set for the proper voltage for your area: ~115V (60Hz) or ~230V (50Hz). A cover plate is provided to ensure that this switch is not accidently reset or tampered with between uses.
