LED

Indicates a high voltage, low voltage, short circuit,

- MODE: 

“2” indicates one set of RCA’s are being used. This will also pass signal to channels 3/4 through 1/2 inputs.

  “3” indicates bridging channels 3/4 while running 1/2 in stereo. “4” indicates connecting 2 sets of RCA’s to 1/2 and
  3/4 inputs.

- LINE OUTPUT: 

Full range RCA pass through.

- Refer to the section “Settings for Best Performance”

- Connect the four inputs of the amplifier to a Radio/CD with quality RCA cables.

- 2 ohm per channel.

- 3/4CH X-OVER:  FULL
MODE: “4” since 2 sets of RCA’s are connected.
