lnteruptlng
Line
Input
This is the secondary input, use
MAIN IN
for your main input.
INTERRUPTING INPUT can be used
if
a second source
is
desired and
takes over when
signal
is present and has
at
least
a
5mV level.
When there is no
signal,
or a
signal
with
less
than
5mV level,
the amp
switches back
to
MAIN IN
after a brief
delay.

Main
Input/Output
MAIN IN should
be
used as the
"primary"
or
main input for the
amplifier.
Connect your receiver
or
main source to this input. Use
MAIN OUT
to pass
MAIN IN signal
to another
amplifier.

Mode
Select

Switches
the
amplifier
from
Stereo
mode to Bridged mode.
STEREO MODE
If
you
will
be connecting one or two pair
of
speakers to the
amplifier, place
the switch in the
"Stereo"
position.
NOTE:
For
playing
2 pairs
of
speakers
(A
plus
B), make sure each speaker has an impedance
of
8 ohms or greater.
BRIDGED MODE
When set to
"Bridged"
mode, the
amplifier
is a
single channel
mono
amplifier.
BRIDGED MODE- MONO APPLICATION
For bridged mode,
playing
Right and Left together as mono output, use a
Y
cable
adapter to connect Right and Left RCA
signal
to the Right (Red) input
at
MAIN
IN
. Set
the
MODE
switch to
BRIDGED
and
follow
the instructions
for bridged speaker connection in the
SPEAKER TERMINALS
section
of
this manual.
NOTE:
The
AMP100VS
supplies 150W
in
bridged mode,
Please
verify that your
speakers
are
capable
of
handling
such
power
to
avoid
possible
damage!
11.
AUTO
ON
Select
Switch
Power can be turned on and
off
manually
via the switch on the front
panel
or automatically by signal
sensing.
Set
it to
NORMAL
for
manual
power on/off.
Set
to
AUTO
for
signal sensing; the amp
will
turn on when audio
signal
is
detected at the inputs.
NOTE:
The front
panel
power switch must be in the
ON
position (pushed in) for the
AUTO ON feature to operate.
Set
switch to
TRIGGER
to use
an external
source to turn the AMP1

on
or
off

TERMINALS
-STEREO
MODE
For stereo
output connect the speaker's positive (red)
terminal
to the
amplifier's
positive (red)
terminal,
and the speaker's negative
(black) terminal
to the
amplifier's
negative (black) terminal
for each Right and Left speaker.
SPEAKER
TERMINALS
·BRIDGED
MODE
Place
the
"MODE"
switch in the
"BRIDGED"
position and use both red
terminals
to connect to the speaker. Connect the speaker's positive (red)
terminal
to the
amplifier's
red
( +)
terminal
noted
next to the bridging mark, and
the speaker's negative (black) terminal
to the
amplifier's unmarked positive
(red)
terminal.
NOTE:
Only one zone (A or B) can
be
bridged. Do not attempt to bridge both
A and B speaker
terminals!
This may
result
in a
lower
impedance than the
amplifier
is
designed
for
and
may
damage
your
amplifier.
The minimum
impedance
for
the
total load
connected in bridged mode is 8 ohms.
NOTE: Use
Class
2 wiring for speaker connections.
To
wire the output connector:
1.
Strip
the
insulation
off each speaker wire to expose
318"
(10
mm)
of
bare conductor. 2. Unscrew the output
terminal
binding post
several
twists,
insert each wire into the correct
terminal.
3.
Tighten binding post by twisting clock-wise
until
it is
firmly clamping
the speaker wire.
Warning: While
the
amplifier
does
self-protect
under most improper output conditions,
misconfiguration
of
loudspeaker
mode and incorrect connection
of
loudspeakers could
damage connected
loudspeakers
and/or
amplifier.
Please refer installation to a
qualified
installation
professional,
and
always
check state and
local electrical
codes when
installing.
NOTE: To prevent sonic degradation in your speaker installation,
total speaker
wire resistance should
be kept below 0.5
ohms. This
table lists
recommended
speaker wire gauge versus wire
run
length.

Holder
This
amplifier
is configured
for
operation
at
117V
(North America). A fuse
in the integrated
internal holder
provides safety protection from
fault
