6.1 Powering up
First of all, please make sure your AMP VII is connected correctly to
your pre amplifier, speakers and mains (see section '
Installation and
power supply
' on page 9 und Section '
Inputs and outputs
' on page 11).
The AMP VII is a stand-by unit. Please operate the mains switch on the
bottom side. The display shows for a brief moment a welcome message.
After that the AMP VII is in stand-by mode. The display indicates the
stand-by mode either with the text
off
or with a small dot (pixel) in the
display (see section '
Set Off-Text
' on page 22).
Only in cases of extended absence (like vacations) or if massive trouble
on the mains power is to be expected it is recommended to disconnect the
AMP VII from mains. Operate the mains switch on the bottom side to
switch off the unit from mains. The display goes dark.
Important
·
Never pull the mains cord(s) while the AMP VII is switched on!
Before you operate the mains switch on the bottom side or pull
the mains plug, power down the unit to stand-by mode first.
6.2 Switching on/off
To power up the AMP VII from stand-by mode, press the
power
key on
the front panel. The AMP VII issues the message:
Waking up...
In case the mains plug(s) has/have the incorrect polarization a warning
will appear in the display (see section

on page
14). After that the unit powers up all installed amplifier modules sequen-
tially. As soon as all modules are up and running the speaker outputs are
enabled. The unit informs the user of all active channels and is now in
normal operating mode.
If you would like to switch off the unit, please press the
power
