On/Auto/Trigger
BUS 1 & 2 Inputs
On Mode (Recommended):
All zone LED lights will be off until an audio signal is introduced to the BUS or LINE-IN inputs.
When an audio signal is present, the amplifier will turn on immediately and the appropriate zone
lights will turn blue to indicate the zone or zones that are on. After about 20 minutes without an
audio signal the zone or zones will enter a low power mode. Zone LED lights will remain off until
each zone senses an audio source to the zone input.
There are “right” and “left” RCA style connectors labeled as “1” & “2”. These inputs are used for
sending a single audio source (i.e. CD, Tuner, MP3 etc.) to more than one zone.
BUS 1 & 2 Outputs
There are “right” and “left” RCA style connectors labeled as “1” & “2”. These outputs are used to
loop the audio source that is connected to the “BUS INPUTS” out to a second amplifier.
Zone Line Inputs
These RCA style input connectors are the audio inputs for each individual channel of the amplifier.
Attach your audio sources here. We suggest using a good quality RCA patch cable for best
performance. The RCA inputs are labeled “Left” and “Right”.
Auto Mode:
When the amplifier detects an audio signal the D16 will turn on. After approximately 20 minutes
without an audio signal the amplifier will go into standby mode. When the D16 is in sleep mode
there will be a 10 to 15 second delay to power the amplifier back on and play an audio signal.
Trigger Mode:
NOTE: The amplifier has a 10 second power cycle period before it will play an audio signal if
either the Auto or Trigger are selected. This is normal and required to comply with the EU < .5
WATT ERP directive.
NOTE: By using the BUS INPUTS/OUTPUTS together you can run “MONO” to all channels of the
amplifier. Discussed later in this manual.
The amplifier will only turn on and off when using the 12v trigger input and/or output. There will be
a few second power cycle period from the time power is applied to the trigger to the time an audio
signal is played. For general use it is recommended that the amplifier be left in the "ON" position.
