Lights yellow if the input clips or red if the output
clips. Note that an output clip will always take priority over an
input clip.
•
-10dB LED –
Lights green when the output signal reaches a
level that is 10dB below full scale output of the amp.
•
-15dB LED –
Lights green when the output signal reaches a
level that is 15dB below full scale output of the amp.
•
-20dB LED –
Lights green when the output signal reaches a
level that is 20dB below full scale output of the amp.
•
Signal LED
–
Lights green when signal is sensed at the input.
The threshold for lighting this LED is -40dBu.
NOTE:
The full scale output of the amplifier may change depending
on the Low Z/High Z setting, as well as the amplifier model. See

button for 2 seconds
from the Home screen will display a Channel Details screen for
that channel. The Channel Details screen shows additional details
for the selected channel, including configured input source, output
mode, status, channel temperature, and channel volume. Note that
channel volume can also be controlled from this screen by turning
the Encoder.
7� Channel Mute Buttons
Pressing each of these buttons will mute/unmute the corresponding
amplifier output channel. Note that when a channel is muted, the
front panel SIGNAL LEDs will still light to indicate input signal level
presence, the CLIP LEDs will still light to indicate input clipping, and
the LCD will flash "Mute".
8� Menu Button
Pressing this button will enter the Main menu, where amplifier
settings can be edited.
9� Power Button

integrated power symbol that illuminates blue when the power is on
and green when the power is off. To prevent the unit from accidentally
being powered off, the Power button must be pressed and held for 2
seconds when powering off.
NOTE:
The Power button is disabled when using the AUX port
