This input is for use specifically with home theatre processors. In some circumstances you may wish to
use the power amplifier and speakers that the M8 is connected to as the front two channels of a surround
or home theatre environment. The processor input can be used for this purpose, as any signal connected
to the processor inputs can be sent directly to the power amplifier bypassing the M8 entirely.

connection from 0V to ground thus allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.

The heavy-duty rocker switch to the right of the panel turns the Mains/Line Power to the amplifier ON or

rapidly turn the Mains switch on and off repeatedly.
