OPERATING MODE SWITCHES There are 3 different operating modes switchable for the MP series amplifiers. PARALLEL (right) mode- This setting connects both inputs together. One signal feeds both channels. Each channel's Gain control and loudspeaker connection remain independent. STEREO (middle) mode- Each channel remains independent. The amplifier may be used for two different signals. BRIDGE (left) mode- This setting combines both channels into a single channel with twice the output power.
QUICK START GUIDE 1. Make sure that the power switch is set at the OFF position while making connections to and from the power amplifier. 2. Connect all devices in the signal path and ensure that each connection is secure. 3. Set all level and gain controls to their minimum. 4. After powering up all other devices first, turn the power switch on the amplifier to the ‘ON’ position and verify that the POWER LED is illuminated. 5. Turn the amplifier volume control up to the “7” setting.
