OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

Button(s) Description
The amplifier is switched on and off using this button at the front panel.
When switched off the device is not internally separated from the AC
power and reacts to the POWER CONTROL (6) signal. That is why the
amplifier can not be switched off as long as it receives the switching
signal. As a precaution, before switching on, the volume setting of the pre-
POWER (2)
amplifier should be reduced. After switching on, the LED on the front panel
is blinking for about five seconds. In this time a protection circuit mutes the
loudspeakers and thus prevents switching noise. After that time the Power
LED (3) will be lit as long as the amplifier is switched on and supplied with
the mains voltage.
Here you can select if the power amplifier is provided with the preamplifed
input signal at the XLR or the RCA connectors at the rear of the unit. If the
XLR/RCA (4) key is in its switched-on position, the SP-994 cannot process a signal con-
nected to the RCA connector, but expects the signal via the XLR connector.
It is allowed to use this switch even while music is being played back.
This button toggles between Class A and Class AB modes. In this way you
can switch from the better sounding Class A mode to the energy-saving
CLASS A /
Class AB mode with less waste heat, for instance for sound reproduction
CLASS AB (1)
for a party, where absolute high fidelity is not necessary. It is allowed to
use this switch even while music is being played back.
