Installation – setup and options
Power connection
Plug the supplied power cord into the amplifier and to a polarized wall outlet or
appropriate surge protector.
Note: There is no power button on the amp.7150. The unit automatically powers
up when you plug it into an outlet.
Caution: Do not plug the amplifier’s power cord into a switched outlet, as is
featured on some surround receivers. If you wish to have the amplifier turn on
when the receiver is powered up, use the 12V trigger jack on the rear of the unit.
Operations
LED indicators
When the amp.7150 is powered on, the LEDs on the front panel indicate the
amplifiers operating state.
BLUE – Amplifier is ON and functioning properly
ORANGE – Amplifier is ON and in Standby mode.
Gain adjustments
Use the gain adjustments on the rear panel of the amplifier to adjust the
maximum output level of each channel pair. This is useful when you want to limit
the maximum volume level in an area, such as a child’s room or guest area. Be
sure to set the gain adjustment at a level that does not clip or cause distortion
when the volume is set to the maximum level. This can cause damage to the
speakers and the amplifier.
