All connections must be made with all equipment OFF, 2. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (51) is set to the correct voltage. 3. Use the LINE _IN (52) jacks to attach your input signal to the P-600 or P-800, Make sure that you correctly attach the left and right cables. You can use either RCA or 1/4" connectors 4, There are two supplied AC Outlets (53), one unswitched (Max. 500W} and one switched (Max. 400W} , which allow the electrical hook up of other units. 5. The P-600 and P-800 provide two pairs of Speaker Output Terminals (54) to enable you to run two sets of speakers, You can either use banana plugs ‘or bared speaker wire for your connections. 6. A GND terminals (55) is provided for grounding the P-600 or P-800 to your other equipment 7. Make sure that the FAN (56) is not obstructed, 56 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Power ON (Once you have made all source connections to your P-800 or P-600, Press the POWER(1) button the power will tum on and the POWER LED (2), will luminate GREEN. 2. Protection Led ‘The PROTECTION LED (3) illuminates RED when ‘The amplifier overheats or when a shorted load or DC is detected onthe amplifier output . The amplifier will reset itself when the problem is corrected. 3. Speaker Selection ‘The P-800 and P-600 are capable of handling wo sets of speakers. To select, push the propor SPEAKER BUTTONS (4). You can select either A Bor both A&B. 4, Volume Control You can easily control the output level to your speakers{tha volume) by using the rotary VOLUME CONTROLS (5, 6). VOLUME CONTROL (5) adjusts the left channel and VOLUME CONTROL (6) adjusts the right channel, On model P-800, the dual analog VU METERS (7.8) visually display the volume levels 54 53DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES 1.
