Quick Operation Guide
Here is a quick guide for those who want to listen to music
or view their favorite movies as soon as possible.
Connections and operations are explained briefly here for
the purpose of just getting you started.
For those of you who want to operate the PA-MC5501
(the amplifier) right away, follow the guide below.
However, this instruction manual contains a great deal of
other information that you should know for the proper
operation of the amplifier and for a more pleasurable
experience with the amplifier. Be sure to read the rest of
this manual as well after reading this quick guide.
The procedures given below assume that the other system
components are already connected and configured. (For
example, that the source components are already
connected to the control amplifier.)
1. Lower the volume at the control amplifier.
Lower the volume of the control amplifier to the
minimum so that when the amplifier is turned on, you
do not hear loud unwanted sounds.
2. Connect the speakers to the amplifier.
Connect the speakers to the amplifier using the proper
speaker cables. Be sure to match the channels and the
positive (+) and negative (–) polarities between the
speakers and the amplifier. If the connections are
mistaken, the correct orientation will not be obtained.
3. Select balanced input (XLR) or unbalanced input
(RCA) with the INPUT SELECT switch.
The amplifier possesses a balanced input (XLR) and
unbalanced input (RCA) for each channel and the
switch for the two is located between the two input
terminals. Select the proper input type depending on
the functionality of the connected cables and the
control amplifier.
Note
Do not change the INPUT SELECT switch setting when the
amplifier is turned on.
4. Connect the control amplifier to the amplifier.
After selecting the correct input type in step 3 above,
connect the output from the control amplifier to the
corresponding input terminal on the amplifier.
Note
Do not connect anything to the other input jack.
5. Connect the supplied power cord to the amplifier
and to the wall power outlet.
Be sure to properly plug the power cord all the way in.
6. Press the ON/STANDBY button.
The ON indicator flashes white for about 5 seconds
before it lights up.
When you connect other device to the 12V
TRIGGER IN terminal using the supplied cable, the
power on or off status of the amplifier synchronizes to
the action of turning on or off the connected device.
7. Slowly increase the control amplifier volume.
Note
After the amplifier is turned on, it takes approximately
10 seconds before the output sounds. During this time, do not
turn up the volume.
Now all that remains is to control the control amplifier and
the other connected system components and enjoy your
music or movies.
