I would recommend checking the back of the Amp200 or Amp300 if you have all of the connections made and sound still does not come from them. You also need to turn down those two little knobs on the back of the unit located in the middle, so be careful not to turn them all the way down.
In standby mode, there is a red LED to indicate AC power connection. If there is an audio signal, a green LED will illuminate. We can help you troubleshoot if you give us a call.
This connector is a Phoenix style and is used simply for direct wiring. This connector cannot be used in any other way.
The AVR (out) should be connected to the amp (in) via a trigger cable. As soon as your AVR is powered on, a signal is sent directly to your amp indicating it should also be powered on. As a result, the entire process is automated.

I have been very happy with this amp to date, but recently it started cutting in and out on the left side. I checked all the cables to make sure it was the amplifier. When it comes to testing stuff, I am pretty good. It does not make sense to me to wait 18 months for a power amplifier. As of right now, I do not know how to get service and I am very open to the vendor helping me solve my problem.
A total of five of these were purchased to power speakers in a house. The speaker impedance is matched to the volume controls on each 8 ohm speaker. The green light is on but there is I replaced it with an audio source amp which has not caused any problems since then. *I just wanted to let you know that I do this for a living, so I regret buying these. The audio source amps are typically what I use, but I purchased these because of a faster shipping time, I regret it.
I'm using the amp to drive a pair of OSD Audio planter speakers on my deck and I'm using a Google Chromecast audio source to drive the speakers. Getting the sound to work was easy, and the setup was straight forward. This amplifier delivers powerful sound for light to medium volume, which is exactly what I would expect from an amplifier this size. For now, I give it a full 5 stars, since I've only been using it I will update the review if the situation changes.
I really like this amp, it was perfect for outdoor stereo installations until after a week or two it started raising all by itself to the max volume. It happened on a new install. It struck me as the strangest thing I've ever seen on an installation, and I've been in the AV business for over 35 years. I replaced the IR extender and all the cables and everything still went haywire. As well, the replacement acted the same way, so I returned it as well and bought another brand with a similar function that does not seem to be haunted. The box and original packaging were missing when I sent this back, and I always send things back in the best condition, as I thought this would be a good one to keep. Even if it wasn't defective, I'd be entitled to say "no" to a restocking fee, but as there was no explanation as to why they refunded only $184 of $229, I wouldn't be able to even recommend it.
They're great because they auto turn on after casting audio to them, as soon as you start casting audio to them, they start to turn on. I placed four of them in my house to power four sets of in-ceiling speakers and connected Chromecast audio to their RCA inputs. It is a very nice solution that is only a fraction of.
The unit offers both Bluetooth and wireless connectivity, as well as compatibility with popular streaming apps. I could, however, stream files through the Plex app to my iPad through the OSD app, and I could see and directly play music files on my server when I fired it up and connected through the OSD app. Just like streaming file servers that will set you back hundreds, high resolution FLAC and DSD files are also included. The Nero Studio 5s work well with this amplifier because it is modest, quiet, and is compatible with small bookshelf speakers. When driven modestly, it sounds incredible, but if you add a sub-bass source, it sounds outstanding Using a subwoofer.
what it is supposed to do. This is a BIG complaint, the line pass through should work for intercept signals as well, or for customers to choose from. Editing is necessary A click or pop sound can be heard every few minutes when no audio is A real pain in the neck. It makes the whole system feel cheap, so it is not usable. Despite being the cheapest component, this is the most difficult one. The house you see there is not mine. There is a plug on my conditioner where I plug this The same is true of the Sonance speakers I use in my kitchen. I did not hear the click sound.
There is an input for each of these sources With the TV at the main input and ALEXA as an interrupting source, one has to choose which input to use. In response to me requesting Alexa to do something, the amplifier immediately switches to Alexa and temporarily silences the TV until Alexa has finished speaking. After Alexa has finished talking, it automatically switches back to the TV after a few seconds without requiring any intervention from the user. As much as I hate to admit this. Alexa appears to be compelled to wait a long time before switching back to the TV after it has finished talking. My only quibble with this device is the long pause between tracks (maybe five seconds). Otherwise, it would be 5 stars across the board. The OSD team is to be commended.
