[. . . ] Lower the volume of the control amplifier to the minimum so that when the amplifier is turned on, you do not hear loud unwanted sounds. Connect the speakers to the amplifier using the proper speaker cables. Be sure to match the channels and the positive (+) and negative (­) polarities between the speakers and the amplifier. If the connections are mistaken, the correct orientation will not be obtained. Select balanced input (XLR) or unbalanced input (RCA) with the INPUT SELECT switch. The amplifier possesses a balanced input (XLR) and unbalanced input (RCA) for each channel and the switch for the two is located between the two input terminals. Select the proper input type depending on the functionality of the connected cables and the control amplifier. Note: Do not change the INPUT SELECT switch setting when the amplifier is turned on. After selecting the correct input type in step 3 above, connect the output from the control amplifier to the corresponding input terminal on the amplifier. Connect the supplied power cord to the amplifier and to the wall power outlet. When you connect other device to the 12V TRIGGER IN terminal using the supplied cable, the power on or off status of the amplifier synchronizes to the action of turning on or off the connected device. While the STANDBY indicator lights red, the amplifier is in standby state waiting for 12V trigger signal. Note: After the amplifier is turned on, it takes approximately 10 seconds before the output sounds. Now all that remains is to control the control amplifier and the other connected system components and enjoy your music or movies. 7 Front & Rear Panels Front Panel POWER switch This is the main power switch. ON/STANDBY button This button is used to set the amplifier to On or Standby. Note: If you wish to turn on the amplifier again after it is turned off, wait for several seconds. STANDBY indicator The amplifier is in standby state and waits for instruction signal from the 12V TRIGGER IN terminal. ON indicator The main power of the amplifier is turned on and you can play and enjoy an input source. Notes: · If the POWER switch is pressed and both of the ON and STANDBY indicators do not light, check that the power cord is properly connected. If the indictors still do not light, turn off the amplifier, disconnect the power cord from wall outlet, and contact your Onkyo dealer. · If the STANDBY indicator flashes red, the protection circuitry of the amplifier has activated. The protection circuitry activates if a problem such as a speaker cable shorting or excessive temperature occurs. Turn off the amplifier, remove the cause of the problem, and then turn it back on.
