Connection using a balanced XLR cable
A balanced XLR cable (a) attenuates audio signals less than an unbalanced RCA cable, minimizing noise. This
cable is suited when a long cable is required to connect to equipment remotely located.

Connections
When connected to a preamplifier, etc. with 12V TRIGGER OUT terminal mounted, this unit can be turned on or
enter the standby state by interlocking the power-on operation of the equipment.
・Use the supplied monaural mini-plug cable (a) for connection.
・ When using a commercially available cable, use a monaural mini-plug cable (φ3.5 mm) without resistance. Do
not use a stereo mini-plug cable.

Note
Japan model: Adapt the power source polarity for enhancement of the sound quality. Align the N-printed side
of the power plug supplied with this unit with the longer groove of the outlet, and insert the power plug. If both
grooves of the outlet are the same in length, either side can be connected.

Setting Auto Standby (ASb)
When AUTO STANDBY is turned ON side, the power amplifier will automatically enter Standby mode if the power
amplifier receives no signal for 20 minutes.
・ When ASb (Auto Standby) is set to ON, the power indicator and power meter blink for 30 seconds immediately
before the unit automatically enters the standby state.
1. Set ON/OFF by switching the AUTO STANDBY switch.
ON: ASb enabled.
OFF: ASb disabled.
・When set to off, power consumption increases as the power continues to turn on.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
When the unit is operating erratically
The problem may be solved by resetting the unit to restore all settings to the default states at the time of
purchase.
Reset procedure
1. Turn on the power of the unit, and wait for approx. 10 seconds.
2. While pressing and holding the SPEAKERS button, press the ON/STANDBY button two times.
・All indicators blink during rest.
3. When reset is complete, the unit enters the standby state.
Troubleshooting: The power does not turn on.
If the problem persists even after the AC cord is reconnected, the unit failure may have occurred.
Troubleshooting: No sound is delivered from the right or left speaker.
A contact failure or disconnection of the cable may have occurred. Reconnect the cable or use another cable and
check the condition.
