Independent Multi-room System
When properly connected, a second stereo source may be sent to a
remote room, complete with remote volume control, source selection
and tuner control. A low voltage trigger output for the second zone allows
a second amplier to turn on and off independently of the main room.
This system may also be used to record an input source that is different
from the one being used in the main room.

2 Low voltage triggers
One trigger provides automatic turn on/off of compatible power
ampliers such as the Atlantic Technology A-2000 power amplier or
relay-controlled products such as projection screens, blinds and lighting
systems. The second trigger provides on/off control for an amplier
used with the multi-room system.
Unpacking
The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new Preamp/
Processor were specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and
vibration of shipping. We strongly suggest that you save the carton and
packing materials to use if you move, or if the unit ever needs to be shipped
for any reason.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to open the top
and bottom aps and fold the carton at. Other cardboard inserts may be
stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should
be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
Although not particularly heavy, the P-2000 has several front mounted
controls and many rear panel connectors, so be careful when lifting and
placing it so as not to cause damage.

After unpacking the P-2000, please check that the following accessories are
in the box:
Remote Control with Batteries
AC Power Cord
FM Wire Antenna
AM Loop Antenna
Owner’s Manual
If any of the above is missing from your shipment, please contact Atlantic
Technology immediately.
