Setting the ZRX

Bypass Mode - Amplifier reproduces the full frequency range
Low Pass Mode - Amplifier frequencies 80Hz and lower
High Pass Mode - Amplifier frequencies 100Hz and higher

IMPORTANT OPERATION NOTES

An Active Signal Processing Module must be installed in the Module Docking Port in

order for the amplifier to operate. Never power up the amplifier without a module
installed. Never remove or insert a module with the amplifier powered up. Failure to follow
