STEREO mode
In this mode, channels A and B operate independently
(as a conventional stereo amp).
The CHANNEL A input signal will be output from the
CHANNEL A output jacks, and the CHANNEL B input
signal will be output from the CHANNEL B output
jacks.
PARALLEL mode
In this mode, the CHANNEL A input signal will be
output from the output jacks of both channels A and B.
The CHANNEL B input jack is not used. The (channel)
A
and volumes can be adjusted independently.
