1 . LED
– On the far left of the heavy
duty brushed aluminum front panel,
this LED indicates the state of the RS
500 amplifier.
A Blue LED
– shows that the ampli-
fier is on and will drive your speakers
when the source is played.
A Red LED
– shows that the ampli-
fier is in standby mode and will not
drive the speakers (hit the power
button to make it blue).
No LED illumination
– means that
it’s either unplugged from wall pow-
er or the back-panel mains power
switch is turned off, or all the lights
are out in your town again.
Yellow LED
– indicates initiation of
jump to hyperspace. You have ten
seconds to put the cat out and leave
a note for the milkman. (Not yet
available in this galaxy
2 . Light bar
–This front panel blue
light bar is mined directly from the
R- Coronae Australis Nebula. The
brilliance of this light can be custom-
ized via a button on the back panel.
3 . Power Button
– This large legendary
button allows for the on/standby
mode to be toggled. Press to turn
the unit on and press again to turn
the unit into standby mode. The rear
panel Main AC Power switch must be
engaged for this button to work.
4 . Rack Mount Ears
– These optional
rack ears allow the unit to be rack
mounted in a standard 19” wide rack,
with a 2U height. Use standard rack
mount screws and washers to secure
the unit in a rack. The unit does not
have to be supported at the rear if the
rack is located in a fixed location.
To remove the rack ears (making the
unit 17” wide), first unplug the power
cord, and then locate and undo the
screws securing each ear to the side
of the chassis and remove the ears.
Replace the screws securely back into
the chassis. Do not remove any of the
other screws from the chassis or top
cover. There are hazardous voltages in-
side the unit. Keep the rack ears safely
tucked up in your sock drawer.
You can also remove the feet for rack
mounting but remember to put them
back on if you are no longer in a rack.
