The power cable for the UPA-700 should be unplugged from the outlet during severe electrical storms, or when unused for a long period of time. Only replace the fuse(s) in the UPA-700 with a fuse(s) of proper value and voltage rating.
Yet another possibility for the adventurous is to use the UPA-700 to power a five-channel surround system…. and bi-amp the front channels for the absolute ultimate in clarity and definition. Whichever way you choose to go, you can’t lose with the UPA-700. Your ears and your wallet will thank you.
About This Manual This manual will provide you with all the information you need to get great performance, accurate sound, and many years of reliable service from your UPA-700 seven-channel power amplifier. We suggest that you read through the entire manual; we kept things as short and direct as possible.
UPA-700 concentrates on only one thing: delivering clean power to drive your speakers. When connected directly to a surround sound pre/pro, the UPA-700 will serve as the centerpiece of a true audiophile quality home theater system; when connected to the preamp outputs of your current receiver, it will give you a significant improvement in both measured performance and musical enjoyment.
UPA-700 Unpacking Your UPA-700 was carefully packed and should reach you in perfect condition. If you notice any shipping damage or other issues when you unpack it, please contact Emotiva immediately. Gently remove your UPA-700 from the packing carton and remove all wrappings and shipping material.
UPA-700 UPA-700 Front Panel UPA-700 1. Channel Status LEDs (7) Display the status of each channel; illuminate blue for normal operation or red to indicate a fault; may be disabled by rear panel Status LED switch. 2. Standby Button Press to switch the amplifier On; press again to return to Standby; button illuminates amber for Standby and blue for On.
The UPA-700 is switched On (from Standby) when a trigger signal is presented at the Trigger Input; the UPA-700 returns to Standby when the trigger signal is removed. When the UPA-700 is on, a 12 VDC signal is sent from the Trigger Output to control other devices. 2. Status LED Switch Enables and disables the front panel Channel Status LEDs.

UPA-700 will return to Standby mode. The Trigger Output sends out 12 VDC whenever the main power to the UPA-700 is On (and NOT when it is in Standby mode) which can be used to switch on other units with trigger capabilities.
AC Power switch (rear panel) The rear-panel AC power switch controls the main AC power for your UPA-700. When this switch is in the Off position, the amplifier will not operate. Turning it On will put the UPA-700 into Standby mode.
If necessary, the UPA-700 should be cleaned gently with a soft rag. • If something sticky gets on the front panel or case of the UPA-700, it should be cleaned with a mild cleaning solution applied to a soft rag, followed by wiping with a clean rag dampened with plain water and drying with a soft dry rag or cloth.
