1. AC INLET
Plug one end of the AC line cord into the
AC INLET and the other end into
nearby
wall outlet that provides the
correct AC power line voltage, or into a
convenience outlet on any other AMC
product.
2. 2CH/ BRIDGE SWITCHES X 8.
There are eight slide switches on the
back panel labelled "2CH/BRIDGE".
These switches allow the XG to operate
in several modes depending on the
number of loudspeakers to be connected.
These modes of operation are defined as
follows;-
8 CHANNEL MODE.(Channel A to H)
With all eight switches in the BRIDGE
position, the XG becomes a 8 channel
(stereo) amplifiers capable of driving eight
8 ohm loudspeakers at 100 watts per
channel. Under the Mode, all Inputs, Loop
Outputs & Input Level Adjusts are on L
Channel. In this mode, the XG can be
used as a high power, audiophile quality,
8 channel power amplifier.
CAUTION: In the BRIDGE mode, the
speaker terminals should be directly
wired to the loudspeaker and not to any
accessory
device
amplifier network or
adaptors etc that may share a common
ground with other channels.
16 CHANNEL MODE.(Channel A-R, A-L,
B-R, B-L, C-R, C-L, D-R, D-L, E-R, E-L,
F-R, F-L, G-R, G-L, H-R & H-L
With 8 switches in the 2CH position, the
XG becomes a 16 channel amplifiers
capable of driving sixteen 4 ohm
loudspeakers at greater than 50 watts per
channel.
9~15 CHANNEL MODE
With some switches in the BRIDGE
position and other in the 2CH position,
the
XG
becomes
amplifiers.
3. IN (INPUTS) X 16.
There are sixteen RCA phono connectors

on the back panel that connect to the
inputs of each of the sixteen power
amplifiers. Connections to these inputs
are made with reference to the MODE
SWITCH settings described above;-
BRIDGE MODE.
A can be made via L RCA input connector
of CH A and for the CH B input, use the L
RCA input connector of CH B. And so the
other C to H channels.
NOTE: In this mode, the input phono
connectors of R RCA input connectors
are disconnected.
2 CH MODE.
operates as a 16 channel amplifier.
Connections to the inputs of these
amplifiers are made through the RCA
phono connectors of L & R RCA
connectors of CH-A to CH-H.
4. INPUT LEVEL ADJUSTS X 16.
Each channel of the XG has its own,
independent level control. Before turning
on the XG for the first time, make sure
that all level controls are set to their fully
clockwise position. These controls can be
used for various functions. For example,
they can be used to match the levels of
loudspeakers in a multi-room installation,
or to lower the sensitivity of the power
amplifier, so that the volume control on
the pre-amplifier is at a more convenient
and usable position. They can also be
used to optimize the balance in a stereo
system.
NOTE: In the Bridge mode, only the input
level controls of L of CH-A to CH-H are
operative.
5. LOOP OUTPUTS (OUT) x 16
For each Input there is corresponding
looped output for all 16 channels. Users
can use the loop outputs to daisy chain
several
XG
together
purposes.
