Auto On
Select the Auto On method you would like to use with the blue pull
down menu. During setup it is strongly recommended that you
keep the Auto On method set to POWER BUTTON to prevent the
amplifier from shutting off. You can return at anytime to the Auto On
setting and select the final method of Auto On for your installation.
When controlling the amplifier using IP and IR commands we
suggest using the Power Button Auto On mode. See Appendix B.
Audio
In the Audio Auto On mode, there are three sleep mode options
(off, 15 minutes, 3 hours). Each channel has an independent sleep
mode setting. The sleep mode is triggered by an audio sensing
circuit on each channel of the amplifier. The minimum input sensing
level is 0.5mV.
Audio Green
In the Audio Auto On mode the amplifier will power off after 15
minutes without an audio signal present on any of the channels.
When an audio signal is applied the amplifier will take approximately
9-12 seconds for the amplifier to reproduce audio after going
through its power up sequence. In the audio Auto ON mode the
sleep function is active, see sleep mode note below. This mode
complies with EU energy saving standards.
Power Button
When sleep mode is set to OFF the channel will be on at all times.
Use the sleep mode OFF setting for audio signals like a doorbell or
paging where audio must be reproduced immediately at any time.
Backup Restore
The green BACKUP and RESTORE buttons take all of the settings
of the amplifier including the DSP settings and encapsulates them
into one file. This allows you to transfer these settings into another
amp of the same model with the same firmware version. This is a
proprietary file type (.bin file), agnostic to PC or Mac.
The print button will output a complete list of all settings for the
amplifier. It is always a good idea to keep a backup hard copy of
the settings for each installation.
Voltage
In the Voltage Auto On mode, the amplifier will power off
immediately when the trigger voltage has been removed. When a
3-30V AC or DC voltage is sent to the amplifier, it will take 6-8
seconds for the amplifier to reproduce audio after going through its
power up sequence. This mode complies with EU energy
saving standards.
Voltage Green
In the Voltage Green Auto On mode the amplifier will power off
immediately when the trigger voltage has been removed. When a
3-30V AC or DC voltage is sent to the amplifier it will take 6-8
seconds for the amplifier to reproduce audio after going through
its power up sequence. In Voltage Green mode the Ethernet
connection is not active when the amplifier is off! This mode
complies with EU energy saving standards.
IP Subnet Mask
The third setting in the IP SETUP section is the IP Subnet Mask.
This is an advanced network setup function. Under most
circumstances this field should not need to be edited.
Making changes in this field should only be done by an experience
network administrator.
ID Amp Mode
When the power switch is turned ON, the power button on the
front of the amplifier will flash to indicate which amplifier you are
programming. This will make the amplifier easy to identify in a multi-
amp installation.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode allows you to select how long the amplifier will stay
active after the Auto ON method ceases.
Off
When set in the OFF mode the channel will be on at all times.
Use the OFF setting for audio signals like a doorbell or paging
where audio must be reproduced immediately at any time.
After 15 Minutes
When an audio signal has not been present on a channel for 15
minutes, the channel will go to sleep. From the sleep state the
channel will take approximately 2-3 seconds to reproduce audio
again. This mode is similar to legacy Sonamp Auto-On operation.
After 3 Hours
When an audio signal has not been present on a channel for
3 hours, the channel will go to sleep. From the sleep state the
channel will take approximately 2-3 seconds to reproduce audio
again when audio is detected.. This mode works well for home
theater installations.
