CHAPTER 1
1. AUTO/ON/OFF Switch
Your SunÞ re AmpliÞ er is designed 
with an automatic on/off circuit. 
•    In the AUTO-ON (center) 
po si tion, the am pli Þ  er will au-
tomatically turn on if an audio 
signal is present at the left 
or right input, or if it receives 
an input trigger voltage at the 
12 VDC inputs. The ampliÞ er 
will automatically turn off after 
a few seconds if the trigger 
voltage is removed, or after ap-
 prox i mate ly 20 minutes in the 
ab sence of an audio signal.
•    In the ALWAYS-ON (up) posi-
tion, the ampliÞ er is always on, 
regardless of input signals or    
12 VDC trigger.
•    In the ALWAYS-OFF (down) 
position, the ampliÞ er is always 
off, regardless of input signals 
or 12 VDC trigger.
2. 12 VDC Trigger Input
Although the signal sensing turn-
on is ad e quate for most installations, 
the 12 VDC trigger inputs are offered 
as an op tion al way to turn on the 
ampliÞ er. 
Overview
The SunÞ re Symphonic Refer-
ence PreampliÞ er has a com pat i ble 12 
VDC trigger output. When the pream-
pliÞ er is turned on, the ampliÞ er will 
also turn on.
1/8" mono mini jacks are provided 
for ease of installation, along with a 
terminal strip to allow more ß exibility 
for custom-wired installations. The 
terminal strip and both the 1/8" mini 
jacks are connected in parallel, allow-
ing 'daisy chaining' to turn on multiple 
ampliÞ ers.
Rear Panel Features
Your SunÞ re Symphonic Refer-
ence AmpliÞ er is actually two high-
powered ampliÞ ers combined in 
a 17 inch wide chassis. It accepts 
line-level signals from a controlling 
preampliÞ er, and ampliÞ es them to 
a higher speaker-level, suitable for 
driving powerful stereo and Home 
Theater speak ers.
