¡ Input Jacks: Connect these jacks to the
left/right output of the AV receiver, preamp, sur-
round processor, multiroom controller or other
source used to feed the PA 2000.
™ Output Jacks: These jacks provide a parallel
feed of the input signal. In systems where more
than one PA 2000 is used, they may be connected
to the Input Jacks of the additional amplifier.
£ Power Control Mode Switch: (One for
each channel pair) This three-position switch
determines the method by which the PA 2000
will be placed in the active, or ON, position for
10 to 15 minutes:
• When the switch is in the far right position,
under ON, the unit will be turned on when the
front panel Power Switch 1 is pressed in.
• When the switch is in the middle position, over
the words "AC/DC TRIGGER", the unit will
automatically turn on when a 3-volt to 30-volt
signal is applied to the Trigger Jack §.
• When the switch is in the far left position,
under the words "MUSIC SENSE", the unit will
automatically turn on when an audio signal is
present at the Input Jacks ¡. The unit will
automatically turn off when the signal is no
longer present.

∞ Bridge/Normal Switch: This switch deter-
mines whether the unit operates in the
"Bridged" condition or in the Normal mode.
Please be certain to disconnect the power from
the unit when operating this switch.
• When the switch is in the right position, over
the word "NORMAL", the unit will provide two
output feed pairs for a total of four output
channels.
• When the switch is in the left position, under
the word "BRIDGED", the unit will function as
a stereo amplifier, with a single high-power
output feed into two output channels.
§ Trigger Jack: Connect this jack to the out-
put of a compatible product capable of feeding
a 3-volt to 30-volt signal to the jack when
amplifier operation is desired. When one of the
channel pairs has the Power Control Mode
Switch £ set to the middle, or AC/DC trigger,
position, that channel pair will automatically
turn on when the low-voltage trigger signal is
present. To automatically turn all channels on
via the trigger, BOTH Power Control Mode

position.
