When the amp is in Auto-Power mode and is operative, it may be muted by
pressing the right key, as in the normal mode.
Auto-Ranking Mode
When several amplifiers are used in a system and they are used in Auto-Power
mode, they risk to all start together when a signal appears, creating a large
current surge that may be dangerous for the Home breakers.
To avoid this big surge, the Goldmund amplifier provides a "ranking" adjustment
which gives each amp of the system a "rank" in the Auto-Power ON mode.
The rank is adjustable from 1 to 8.
When only one amp is used, leave the ranking to 1.
If you use several amplifiers, rank them from 1 to their number.
When they will be powered ON in Auto-Power mode by receiving a signal, they
will start in the order of the rank they have, each after the previous one (few 100
millisec later), avoiding the power surges to add-up at the breaker level.
To adjust the rank of each amp, when it is powered off, press the right key until
the ONRank adjustment is displayed. Change the rank by pressing the left key.
