Selecting the method to activate the amplifier

There are three methods to activate the amplifier. Select the turn-on method by setting AUTO POWER SELECTOR as follows:

12V TRIGGER When there is no voltage detected at the trigger input, the amplifier remains off. When the sensing circuitry detects voltage, the amplifier will turn on. When the sensing circuitry detects no voltage, the amplifier turns off instantly.

IR IN When the amplifier detects the appropriate POWER ON IR code through the IR REMOTE IR IN, the amplifier will power on. When the amplifier detects the POWER OFF IR code, the amplifier turns off instantly.

AUDIO SENSING When there is only a small amount or no audio signal detected at either the left or right input, the amplifier remains off. However, the sensing circuitry is always on. When the sensing circuitry detects sufficient audio signal present at any of the audio inputs, the amplifier will be turned on automatically. The sensing circuitry will wait for around three minutes after the audio signal stops to turn the amplifier off.

Tip Be sure to press POWER to turn on the power after completing all the settings for the amplifier. Otherwise, the amplifier cannot be activated.
