Parasound A 52 - Manual (Page 8)

You can manually turn the A 52 on and off with its front panel On-Off button. It can also be triggered
to turn on and off automatically when your preamplifier, surround controller, or system controller is
turned on and off.
Manual On-Off from the Front Panel
If you want to manually turn on and off the A 52 at any time, you need to first select the Manual On-
Off option by placing the Auto Turn On switch (on the rear panel) to its middle Man (Manual) position.
Connecting an Active Audio Source for Automatic On-Off
If you want to automatically turn on the A 52 whenever music is playing (an audio signal is present),
choose the audio triggering option by moving the Auto Turn On switch to its Audio (upper) position.
What You’ll Need:

Before Connecting

❑ Make sure the Auto Turn On switch on the A 52 is in its Audio (upper) position.

YOU SHOULD KNOW
Turn Off Delay in the Audio Mode
When the music stops, the A 52 will remain on for about five minutes. This delay prevents
unwanted turn-off during silent passages in music or during the pauses between tracks.
