LED indicators SP: The signal presence or SP LED indicator shows whether there is a signal onany of the amplifier's inputs. This lights up when the input level reaches theestablished detection threshold. CLIP: The saturation or CLlP LED indicator lights up when the signal delivered tothe speakers is close to the amplifier's clipping or saturation level. Input signalsshould be adjusted to ensure the CLIP (saturation or cut off) indicators never staylit, but that at most they light up to the rhythm of the lowest bass frequencies.Otherwise the amplified signal will be distorted with low-quality and intelligiblesound.Note: The CA200z has an "ANTICLIP" circuit that is always active, constantly analysing theharmonic distortion (produced by excessive trimming of the signal to the amplifier output),automatically reducing the input level and actuating only when the distortion limit is exceeded ON/STBY:o it lights up green when the equipment is in normal operation mode. Inthis mode, it blinks when it receives commands from the infrared remotecontrolo it lights up orange when in standby mode, a mode accessed by pressingthe ON/STBY key on the infrared remote control.o it lights up in green with orange flashes when the unit has automaticallyentered AUTO STANDBY mode4.6.
