protect the transistors and speakers in following
conditions:
The amplifier is overheated.•
A DC current is generated in•
speakers.
The battery voltage is too low or too•
high. Or
The speaker terminals are short•
circuited.
When the PROTECTED indicator
lights up in red, the amplifier shuts
down automatically. In this case
please:
4 Use your power
amplifier

position.
• HPF (high-pass-filter): Select this
mode when mid-range speakers and
tweeters are connected for high
frequency output.
• LPF (low-pass-filter): Select this
mode when woofer and subwoofer
are connected for low frequency
output.
• OFF (flat): Select this mode when
both tweeters and woofers are
connected.
Select LPF frequency
When FILTER MODE is set at LPF position, you
can select the range of frequency that is to be
filtered.
Note
When• FILTER MODE is set at OFF or HPF
position, LPF FREQUENCY does not work.
