OPERATION MODE
Use this to switch between the three modes:
bridge, dual and separate. Be sure to turn the
power off before switching between modes.
Switching with the power on will activate the
warning circuit. The mode illumination light
and mode indicator will flash, and the output
will be muted.
If this happens, you should turn the
operation mode switch back to its original
position. The flashing will stop, and your
M-AX10 will return to normal.

Pressing it again will cancel the operation.
Note, however, that it is not possible to turn
ATT HOLD on and off while the output is
muted (eight seconds after switching the
power on).

Pressing the ATT THROUGH button for two

THROUGH button is pressed. Note that it will
be at maximum volume . Pressing the button
again will cancel the operation.
