Page 10: Rear Panel Features And Functions
D. Ground lift switch: This disconnects the amplifier’s signal ground from the chassis safety ground and is useful in eliminating hum when this is caused by a ground loop. This is where there is more than one ground connection between two pieces of audio equipment, thus forming a loop. This can act as a single turn coil and stray magnetic fields from nearby equipment and/or power cables can induce a mains frequency current in this loop, which then produces a hum that is heard from the loudspeakers. - Page 11 H. Unbalanced input connector: Balanced input connector: We recommend that this input is used as it will usually produce superior results. J. 12V trigger input: When this is connected to a device with a compatible trigger output, switching the connected device on or to standby, will automatically switch the amplifier on, or to standby.
