In the 4 Channel Operating Mode channel pairs of (1 and
2) and (3 and 4) are bridged to provide 200 watts each.
Channels 5 and 6 are driven independently for 100 watts
output for each channel. Refer to figures 8 and 9, along
with page 11 of this Owner’s Manual.
Input Source
Set the Channel 3-4 INPUT SOURCE Switch to the 3, 4
and the Channel 5-6 INPUT SOURCE Switch to the 5, 6
position for 4 Channel Mode.
Sensitivity Controls
The Sensitivity Controls (1, 3, 5 and 6) allow setting the
input level of the amplifier channels to provide an ideal
match for the signal source being used.
Note: Set CH2 and CH4 SENSITIVITY Controls to the
maximum counterclockwise position.
Output Mode

to 50 and the MULTIPLIER Switch to X.1. This will send
frequencies above 100Hz to the upper range speakers for
channels 1 thru 4 and roll-off frequencies below 5Hz for
channels 5-6.
Low Pass Filter
Set the Channel 3-4 low pass filter to OUT. Set the Chan-
nel 5-6 Low Pass Filter FREQUENCY Control to 100 and
