Main Menu
Enter the MAIN MENU by holding the MENU/SEL button beneath the display for about a second. From the MAIN MENU one may navigate, using the PREVIOUS and NEXT
buttons, to one of four other menus or select EXIT to return to the status screen where only three lines of text are displayed. Use the up arrow or down arrow to highlight the
menu you wish to go to and press the MENU/SEL button to make your selection.
Amp Mode
The AMP MODE menu is used to select one of three amplifier modes available in your XLS amplifier. The factory default is set to STEREO mode. In STEREO mode, Channel
1 and Channel 2 both function as independent amplifiers. BRIDGE sets the outputs into a bridge configuration as described in the BRIDGE mode section. The INPUT-Y mode
allows the user to drive the two channels from the same input signal source. This is convenient for setting up crossover filters for bi-amplified systems.
Bridge Mode
Once you have selected the channel or if you are in BRIDGE mode, the available filter types will be displayed. Scroll to select between LOW PASS, BAND PASS or HIGH
PASS filters, or select NO CROSSOVER. If a filter has been selected, the next screen will display the filter type and cut-off frequency. In the case of the BAND PASS filter, both
the low and high cut-off frequencies will be displayed. Once you have selected the cut-off frequency or frequencies, you will be taken back to the MAIN MENU.
Input Sensitivity
The INPUT SENSITIVITY feature enables the playback from sources with inherently low output levels to drive the amplifier to full power by selecting ".775 - HIGH." It is
recommended that this remain set at the default NORMAL setting for all other audio sources to provide optimal system performance. The HIGH setting is often used with
source devices that use RCA connections.
Crossover
The CROSSOVER menu will allow the selection of filter type and filter frequency for each amplifier output channel. If the amplifier is in STEREO or INPUT-Y mode, you will
first be prompted to select which amplifier channel to set up (BRIDGE mode skips this step). When you enter the CROSSOVER menu, the amplifier mode will be displayed.
