PMA AMPLIFIER SERIES

FRONT PANEL

1 - LCD DISPLAY

The display will illuminate and text will appear when the amplifier main power is turned on. At start

up, the display will temporarily display the amp model and serial number along with firmware ver-

sion currently installed in the amplifier. Once the amplifier has completed its initialization process,

the display will show details about the amplifier configuration and programming.

The text on each row of the display corresponds to an amplifier channel. The top row, Row 1, corre-

sponds to Channel 1 of the amplifier. All data shown on this row applies only to Channel 1. Rows 2

through 4 correspond to Channels 2 through 4, respectively.

Each column of the LCD display indicates an important parameter of the amplifier status and/or am-

plifier programming. Column headings have intentionally been omitted from the chassis front panel

to preserve a clean appearance. Please review the descriptions below to learn what information is

shown in each column. After reviewing the information, deciphering the displayed text will be easy

and intuitive.

When the amp is placed into STANDBY mode, the display backlight will dim but the text will still be

visible.
