BRIDGED OPERATION: -5 - The six (6) channels of the CAV-75 are divided into three (3) groups. These groups can be operated and configured independently _ Channel-1 with Channel-2, Channel-3 with Channel-4, and Channel-5 with Channel-6. When in bridged mode, the inputs of CH-1, CH-3 and CH-5 are used respectively (as marked above the jacks). The unused inputs of CH-2, CH-4 and CH-6 are automatically disconnected when configured in bridged mode. The following steps should be performed to switch between NORMAL and BRIDGED modes. 1) Turn OFF the unit and remove all connections, including the AC linecord. (see fig. 1 page 7) 4) Locate and set jumpers to the desired operation mode. Make sure the input and output connections are according to the operating mode. (see fig. 3a&3b page 9) Please read through the previous normal section for general notes on securing good connections, and safety tips. CAUTION: Please remember that the negative output connection of a bridged amplifier is NOT a ground. Do not use with electronic crossovers which have a common ground. REMOTE CONTROL: (optional) With a simple connection from the receiver box to the remote jack at the back of the amplifier, (see Fig. 2 page 8) the power amplifier can be turned ON/OFF from a distance (or from another room). -6 - -7 - -8 - -9 - CLASSÉ CAV-75 LIMITED FACTORY WARRANTY (North America only).
