The exclamation point within an equilateral trangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
attached at the output terminals.
In addition,the amplifier featuresa clipping protection c u d . This circuit does not add distortion to the signal, asdo ordmry "soft clipping" circuits. Instead, it reduces the gain of the amplifier onlywhen necessary to avoid long term hard clipping. 'lhiscircuit can be selectivelydisabled by pressing the Protection Defeat switch for each channel desired.
The slotted control knobs on the HTS5OSPA are intended to require insertion of a coin to change their settings. These knobs resist accidentalchangesof position.
Two LED'S on the front panel illuminate to indicate the presence of an audio signal, and either operation of the protection circuit or clipping. Power on is indicated by the illuminated power button.
Amplifier Architectme
To interface with the outside world, the amplifier input connectors are
To receive and generate signals at the input and output connectorsrespectively,scrupulous care has been exercised in design and construc-
tion of the HTS5OSPA with highest quality components used throughout.The power amplifier circuit of each channel uses a hybrid audio power module construction. This compact assembly techque combines semiconductor chips,normally used in amplifiers as separate dwrete devices,into a tightly coupled unit on a multilayer
The result of these circuitry techniques is an amplifier of exactingspecifications,precisely processing the input signal and accurately matching HTS5O Series Loudspeakers to produce many years of enjoyment of the finest filmand music sound stages.
HTSSOSPAFRONT PANEL CONTROLS
@LWEL:For both Channel 1 and Channel 2, the normal position for the Level control is 0 (no attenuation for all loud- speakers.) In the HTS Theater Reference System,total Volume level and Surround level are controlled at the HTS Decoder or its Remote Control.
In certain cases, other level settings can also be recommended
1.To compensate for room variations, see the Balance and Phasing section of the HTS5300 Manual for specific instructions.
2.For a more visceral low end in theatrical presentations,either turn all level controls to
