Testing Amplifier Operation
3
If desired, operation of the PROAMP-7X400 can be tested by placing the
amplifier in Override mode. Override mode turns on all amplifier channels and
ignores any commands from a control system or from a PSPHD (if connected
to the amplifier).
To place the amplifier in Override mode:
1. With the amplifier powered on, press the OVERRIDE/SETUP button on the
rear of the PROAMP-7X400. The amplifier will be in the Override mode
and the associated LED will light.
2. Test the amplifier as needed. If amplifier faults are indicated on the front
panel, refer to the latest version of the PROAMP(I)-7X400 Operations
Guide (Doc. 6976) for additional information and troubleshooting tips.
The manual is available from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com/manuals).
3. Press OVERRIDE/SETUP to exit the Override mode. The LED will
extinguish.
The PROAMP-7X400 can be paired with a PSPHD Surround Sound Processor
for control and monitoring of the amplifier. Use the connection type that best
fits the application:
● NETWORK: Choose NETWORK if you already have a DHCP network
available and plan to eventually control the amplifier and PSPHD over a
LAN, refer to section .
● DIRECT: Choose DIRECT for a quick installation test without networking
or LAN setup. The LAN port of the amplifier connects directly to the LAN
port of the PSPHD.
To later integrate with a control system program controlling via the LAN,
the pairing process must be executed again when the amplifier is installed
on a network. The original pairing must be removed and then re-paired,
refer to section on page 3.
If the amplifier and PSPHD are to be controlled by Cresnet, pairing does
not need to be repeated.
NOTE: Pairing is for use with the PSPHD only.

Pairing with a “Network” Connection
NOTE: When using the Network connection type, the PSPHD and the

NOTE: If the RESET or OVERRIDE/SETUP button is not pressed within two
minutes, the LEDs stop blinking and the PSPHD display returns to the
Network Setup section.
e. Press the selection knob to select the Network connection type.
f. When prompted on the PSHPD display, press either of the following
buttons on the PROAMP-7x400 while the appropriate LEDs blink
(about two minutes):
● RESET (front panel). Press this button while the front panel
LEDs blink.
or
● OVERRIDE/SETUP (rear panel). Press this button while the red
OVERRIDE/SETUP LED blinks.
When the PSPHD is successfully paired with the PROAMP-7X400, a
message is displayed indicating the successful pairing.
NOTE: If you change the position of the NETWORK/DIRECT switch again
on the PROAMP-7X400, you must then power cycle the device in order for
the new setting to take effect.
To pair the PROAMP-7X400 with the PSPHD use a “network” connection:
1. Using the NETWORK/DIRECT switch on the rear of the PROAMP-7X400,
set the connection type to NETWORK.
2. Power on the PROAMP-7X400 and the PSPHD.
3. Using the INSTALLER MENU on the PSPHD, pair the PROAMP-7X400
with the PSPHD:
a. To open the INSTALLER MENU, press and hold the HOME and
DISPLAY buttons simultaneously for approximately five seconds.
b. Turn the selection knob until Network Setup is displayed, and then
press the selection knob.
c. Turn the selection knob until “Pair Crestron Amplifier” is displayed, and
then press the selection knob to open the Amplifier Pairing Control.
d. Turn the selection knob to highlight Network as the connection type
between the PSPHD and the PROAMP-7X400.
NOTE: The PSPHD and the PROAMP-7X400 must be set to the same
connection type.
