-       -  

BRIDGED OPERATION: 

 The six (6) channels of the CAV-75 are divided into three (3) groups. These groups can be 

operated and configured independently _ Channel-1 with Channel-2, Channel-3 with Channel-4, and 

Channel-5 with Channel-6. When in bridged mode, the inputs of CH-1, CH-3 and CH-5 are used 

respectively (as marked above the jacks). The unused inputs of CH-2, CH-4 and CH-6 are 

automatically disconnected when configured in bridged mode.  The following steps should be 

performed to switch between NORMAL and BRIDGED modes. 

1) Turn OFF the unit and remove all connections, including the AC linecord. 

2) Remove top cover with the Allen key supplied. 

3) Locate the input board(s) of channels to be switched. (see fig.1 page 7)   

4) Locate and set jumpers to the desired operation mode. (see fig.2a, 2b page 8) 

5) Replace and secure the top cover. 

6) Reconnect all cables. Make sure the input and output connections are according to the 

operating mode. (see fig.3a&3b page 9) 

Please read through the previous normal section for general notes on securing good connections, and 

safety tips. 

CAUTION:

 Please remember that the negative output connection of a bridged amplifier is NOT a 

ground.  Do not use a "common ground" or switchbox set-up.  Do not use with electronic crossovers 

which have a common ground.  

REMOTE CONTROL:

 (optional) 

With a simple connection from the receiver box to the remote jack at the back of the 

amplifier, (see Fig.2 page 8) the power amplifier can be turned ON/OFF from a distance (or from 

another room).
