This switch selects the turn-on stimuli that will put the ampli-

voltage going into the trigger input to activate the amplifier.
“Auto” setting senses a signal on the RCA line-level inputs
and automatically puts the amp in ready mode. “On” setting
puts the amp constantly in ready mode so that it can be
controlled by the master power switch on the front panel.

6. Channel Gain Control
Each channel has its own independent level adjustment.
This allows the output level of each speaker to be per-
fectly matched to its area. It can also be used to limit the
maximum audio level in a certain area.
7. Bridging Switch
"Y SIMPLY mIPPING A SINGLE SWITCH TWO CHANNELS CAN BE
combined to increase the total power output.This is helpful
when extra power is needed in certain areas.
Note: The minimum impedance for bridged channels is 8
ohms. Also, please observe the proper speaker wiring when
bridging channels. Input selection and volume settings for
bridged channels will be controlled by the left channel.“BR”
