About THX Ultra™
THX is an exclusive set of standards and tech- nologies established by the
Movie sound tracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are de- signed to be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home, correct- ing the tonal and spatial errors that occur.
Before any home theater component can be THX Ultra certified, it must incorporate the THX technologies and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theater prod- ucts you purchase will give you superb per- formance for many years to come.

If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such as a month- long vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your amplifier (as well as other au- dio and video components) while you are away.
Power Switch and Power Indicator
The power switch is located on the front panel of your amplifier. To turn the amplifier on, push the switch in. The LED indicator above the switch will light, indicating that the amplifier is turned on. To turn the amplifier off, push the button again and return it to the out po- sition.
Trigger ON/OFF
Mode Selector
The Amplifier provides the option for manual or automatic power on/off operation. These modes are selectable using a toggle switch on the back panel.
With the switch in the +12V TRIGGER ON position, the amplifier is turned on automati- cally when a 12V trigger signal is present at the 3.5 mm Jack of TRIGGER IN on the rear panel. The amplifier will go into standby mode if the +12V signal is not present. The front panel POWER SWITCH overrides this function. It must be ON for the +12V trigger to work. Turning the switch OFF cuts power to the amplifier, regardless of whether or not a trigger signal is present.
12V Trigger Input and Output
The jack labeled IN is for connecting the 3.5mm Plug/Cable carrying a +12 volt trigger sig- nal to turn the amplifier on and off. To use this feature the toggle switch must be set to the ON position. This input accepts any con- trol signal (AC or DC) ranging from 3 volts to 30 volts.
The jack labeled OUT is for connecting an- other 3.5mm plug/cable to provide a 12V trigger signal to other components. The 12V output signal is available whenever a +12 volt trigger signal is applied to the IN connector.
