OPERATION

Your new Model 7.250 power amplifier is ready for operation after the speaker and the 
interconnect cables have been installed into their proper sockets. 
 
REMOTE TRIGGER POWER ON 
 
How to make connections for remote power-on using components equipped with a 
DC trigger jack: 
 
Using an accessory cable with a 1/8” mono mini-plug and the correct connector specified for your 
source device, follow the procedure below to connect the trigger-output jack on the rear of the 
source device to the Model 7.250 rear panel TRIGGER INPUT. 
 
To install the Trigger Cable: 
 
• Power the controlling source and amplifier off. 
 
• Connect the trigger cable to the controlling source and the amplifier. 
 
• After the connections are made, power on the controlling source and then the amplifier. After 
the source unit is fully powered up, the LED on the amplifier should be in the ON state, BLUE 
DISPLAY. If the amplifier is in the standby mode, press the power button on the front panel until 
the amplifier is in the ON state, BLUE DISPLAY. 
 
• Verify the trigger is working by putting the source unit into standby mode. The amplifier after a 
short delay will also go into the standby mode. 
 
• Once you have verified that the trigger cable is working, only use the source unit to power on 
and off your amplifier. 
 
 
 
When installing the trigger cable, never have the controlling source or amplifier 
powered on. Doing so will cause the trigger device to work improperly and could 
cause damage to both the source and amplifier. 
 
 
POWER CONNECTION SAFETY 
 
After all audio and system connections have been made, connect the power cord to an AC power 
source. Be sure that the Model 7.250 is powered off and that the device connected to the remote 
trigger input is off when connecting the power cord and plugging it into an AC outlet. 
 
 
 
Do not plug the Model 7.250 directly into the “Switched Accessory” outlet of another 
device! These outlets are intended for use with low current draw products such as 
tuners, CD players or cassette decks. These outlets are not designed to handle the 
high current draw of a power amplifier. Using these outlets for a power amplifier is a 
significant safety hazard.
