Power Button
This turns the main power to the MPS-1
on or off. It is a main power button, but it
is not required to turn this on and off each
time the MPS-1 is used. When enabled, the
AUTO ON/OFF MODE will automatically
switch the amplifier on when an audio
signal comes from a source or control
unit (such as a preamplifier). The TRIGGER
MODE will turn the amplifier on when an
external source (such as a preamplifier)
provides a 5-24 VDC input on the trigger
terminals.
Panel Dim Selector Button
This button selects the overall brightness
of the lighting on the front panel of the
MPS-1. The button has four steps, each
consecutively after the other. The four
levels of brightness are:
• High
• Medium
• Low
• OFF
Pressing the PANEL DIM button repeatedly
will scroll through each level of bright-
ness.
