When the amplifier detects an audio signal the D16 will turn on. After approximately 20 minutes without an audio signal the amplifier will go into standby mode. When the D16 is in sleep mode there will be a 10 to 15 second delay to power the amplifier back on and play an audio signal.

ST/BR Switch (Stereo/Bridge) Use this switch to change between stereo and bridge mode for each zone. Stereo Mode: Stereo mode will play the audio entering the amplifier through the left & right input channels out to the left & right speakers attached to that zone. Bridge Mode: Bridged mode will take the audio entering the LEFT channel of the zone ONLY and send it out of the outermost ports of the phoenix connector.
