to start since it is not being used by another network device. If you
wish to change the IP address you should perform a scan of the
network and only assign an unused IP address within the range of
your router. As a general rule only change the last three digits of
theIPaddressintheampliersettingsandonlyassignnumbers
between 2 and 254. Following this suggestion will minimize the
chanceofmakingtheamplierinaccessible.
It is critical to type in the correct IP address. If the wrong IP address
isentered,theampliercouldbecomeinaccessible.Makechanges
to the IP settings only if you fully understand network setup.
Resetting DHCP
If the IP address is not known and the amp is locked out, use the
DHCP Reset method in Appendix A.
Output Volume (Basic Set-Up)
Play music with wide dynamics and bass that will stress
the system.
1. Start with the Output Volume for both 1L and 1R set at -30.
2. Slowly increase the volume up towards 12 and listen for
any distortion or strain from the speakers. When you hear any
distortion, reduce the volume 1 or 2 steps below this value.
3. Set this volume number for both channels. This will provide
maximum system performance and protect the speakers from
beingdamagedbyamplierclippingandover-excursionof
