PARALLEL
When set to PARALLEL mode, the input signal of channel 2 parallels the input signal of Channel 1, so only one input jack
is needed for the signal source. Even though the input signal of both channels parallels each other, the output level of each
channel is determined by its own independent gain controls. So the two channels sharing the same signal do not share the
same output level (see figure 4).

STEREO
STEREO mode is the most frequently used mode among the three. Each channel is independent of the other, carrying its
own input signal, with its own gain control. Stereo mode comes in left and right channels (see figure 5).
A) When one channel is assigned for left channel, make sure the other channel is assigned for the right.
B) User can use the unit for mono output, with one as main and the other as monitor.
C) This power amplifier can also be used for bi-amplification. One channel is used for driving low frequencies while the
other for driving high frequencies.
