Installation Hint: If your
installation doesn’t require
this remote power turn-on, you
must put a short piece of wire
between the +12 V output and the
Control Input pins.
Note: If you are not using the
Remote Power Control
you must connect
the +12 V output
to the control
input.

3) The third level of power control is the Signal-Sense circuit.
This provides individual channel muting control. When active, it
senses that an audio signal is present on the RCA inputs then
enables the power and unmutes that zone. The zone status LEDs on
the front panel light up green when a signal is present.
In some installations it may be desirable to defeat the signal-
sense control and leave all zones active regardless of the audio
input. To defeat the signal-sense, press in the Signal-Sense Defeat
button on the rear panel
Audio hook-up
If you’re an installation veteran, this may seem repetitive, but
some things can never be repeated too many times (just ask our
Customer Support Department).
1) Turn off ALL components before making any connections.
2) When making connections, designate RED RCA plugs as
RIGHT and WHITE, BLACK, or GREY plugs as LEFT. In fact,
this is a good idea for ALL signal connections made in your audio
system. The key is consistency. Stick with the same color-coding
and you’ll reduce possible problems.
3) Whenever possible,
keep power cords away from
signal cables to prevent
induced hum. This is
especially important if
you bundle the cables to
keep the installation neat
looking.
4) Use quality intercon-
nect cables. We’re not going
to get into the debate about
whether $100/meter cables
improve the sound, but we
know from experience that
really, REALLY cheap
cables can cause a multitude
of problems. They tend to
break inside or corrode,
causing a loss of signal or
hum. They also have poor
shielding.
