The following are descriptions of the front panel functions (refer to figure 1). 

 

NOTE:

 When buttons are pushed in they are in the “on” position.

1. 

Power Button:

 This button allows the amplifier to be turned on and off 

manually or when kept in the “on” position and the Auto Button (see figure 

1, #2) is kept in the “on” position; the amp will automatically turn on when 

it detects an incoming audio signal. The power indicator light above the 

power button will glow when the amplifier is on. 

 

IMPORTANT! The volume control should be set at the minimum setting 

(all the way counter-clockwise) before plugging the amplifier into an 

A/C wall outlet.

2. 

Auto Button:

 This button, when in the “on” position, allows the amplifier 

to automatically turn on when there is an incoming audio signal present 

at either the “Line” inputs or “From Receiver/Speaker Level” inputs. For 

this function to work properly, the Power Button must be left in the “on” 

position. The light above the Auto Button will glow when the unit is in 

“standby” mode. No other lights will glow.

3. 

Boost:

 This button, when in the “on” position, will increase output at 25Hz by 

4dB. Use this button with discretion and caution as some subwoofers may 

not be able to handle this extra boost

.

4. 

Phase  Control:

 This knob changes the output phase of the amplifier. 

Changing  the  phase  will  change  the  way  the  subwoofer(s)  and  main 

speakers interact with each other at the crossover frequency. Typically, 

this will be set to the 0° position. To operate, press then release the phase 

button. While it is extended, adjust as necessary if any problem between 

the subwoofer and main speakers exist. Press the button back in.
