This control is bypassed when using the SSP/Direct input, since the cross-
over function is handled by the surround sound processor.

6.

Power Switch
An

AC mains switch

is located above the power cord on the rear panel

of the SCS. This switch may be used to disconnect the unit from the AC
mains without having to actually unplug the SCS from the wall outlet.

If you plan to be away for an extended period, or have any other reason
to turn the SCS completely off, you may either unplug the SCS or you may
use the

AC mains switch

.

Important!

As with all your electronics, we suggest you completely disconnect
the SCS from the AC mains during severe electrical storms.

7.

AC Mains Input
A 15-ampere IEC standard power cord is used with the SCS. A high quality
15-ampere AC mains cord is included with the product, although the use
of the standardized IEC receptacle means that you may easily substitute
another high quality AC mains cord if you wish.

Warning!

Your new Wisdom Audio SCS has been safety-tested and is designed
for operation with a three-conductor power cord. Do not defeat the
“third pin” or earth ground of the AC power cord.

We recommend that care be taken to ensure that all AC plugs for the
equipment in the system be wired so as to ensure proper AC polarity.
Doing so will minimize noise in the system.

In the U.S., a simple AC mains tester (found at any hardware store) can
test to ensure that your electrical outlets are wired properly. Elsewhere in
the world (for example, in European Union countries), the AC mains plugs
themselves are not always polarized. Your dealer can test for the proper
orientation of the plug in the outlet. In such a case, it is good practice to
mark both plug and outlet to ensure that all products remain in the proper
orientation should it become necessary to temporarily disconnect the
system (as for example, during an electrical storm).

8.

Standby/Operate Indicator
This LED indicator glows green when the SCS has power and is in Operate
mode. If the SCS is placed into Standby by means of the DC Trigger, the
output will be muted and this LED will glow red.

If this LED is not lit at all, no power is reaching the SCS. Check the power
switch, the power cord, and the circuit into which the SCS is plugged.

9.

DC Trigger Input
This 12v trigger input provides compatibility with a wide range of prod-
ucts to facilitate remote turn-on and turn-off in systems. These
