AAC Present Indication

When the A 23 is plugged into a live AC outlet, a soft blue halo glows behind its On-Offbutton and its red “P” Badge glows faintly. These indicate that the unit is plugged into a live AC outlet, even when it is turned off.

BOn and Off Indications for Both Manual and Automatic Modes

When the A 23 is first turned on, the soft blue glow behind the On-Offbutton turns red for about five seconds and then becomes a brighter blue.

CChannel Status Indicators

These are two small round indicators in the center of the recess in the front panel. The indicator on the left displays the status of the left channel and the indicator on the right displays the status of the right channel.

DNo Illumination:

When the A 23 is turned off, these indicators are off.

EBlue Illumination of Channel Status Indicator:

When both channels are operating normally, these both glow blue.

FNo Illumination of Channel Status Indicators:

A blue channel indicator will stop glowing if there is a fault in its corresponding amplifier channel. If this occurs for either channel, the halo glow behind the On-Off button will also change from blue to red.

GHigh-Temp Indicator

This indicator is near the right side of the panel recess. It will glow red if either channel overheats.

HLevel Controls

We recommend that you rotate the Left and Right Level controls to their maximum clockwise positions, marked THX Reference. Refer to Level Controls in Technically Speaking for more information about setting level controls.

IGround Switch

The Ground switch can assist in reducing audible hum caused by ground loops in your system. Leave this switch in its Normal (down) position unless you hear hum through your speakers (you’ll only be able to hear this hum after your entire system is installed and operating). You can try the Lift (up) position to eliminate it. Please refer to the Technically Speaking section for detailed technical information about the causes of ground loops and what you can do about them.
