• Make sure the signal is correctly connected to amplifier input 

channel following current input mode.       

• Please turn off the power switch when extracting the power 

cord and signal cable, or adjusting the input mode switch.

• In order to split one signal to more than one amplifier, we 

suggest to use a signal distributor.

• If you need to supply power to more than one unit power 

amplifiers, to eliminate the big surge current interference 
to electricity net, and preventing the voltage fluctuate 
abnormal when simultaneously switching on the amplifiers, 
we recommend you use the sequence power procedure.
