Rear panel connections
- Power Cable: Connects to 127V or 220V AC outlets.
- Speaker Outputs: Supports normal connection (2 Ohms) or Bridged connection (4 Ohms).
- Line Out: Sends unamplified audio to other equipment.
- Inputs: AUX 1, AUX 2, and Optical input.
- Antennas: FM and Bluetooth antenna connections.
Configuration and settings
The device features specific switches for sound customization:
- X-OVER (Frequency Filters): Allows setting filters to OFF, LPF (Low Pass for subwoofers), or HPF (High Pass for mid/high speakers).
- ROUTE (Routing): Determines how the L/R channels are routed to the outputs (L/R, L+R, or L/R specific channels).
- Function Configuration Mode: Hold the ON/STB key for 5 seconds to enter configuration mode to toggle the Auto Turn On function or attenuation settings.
Bluetooth and audio sources
To use Bluetooth, select the function on the device and search for "TARAMPS" on your smartphone or tablet. For Optical input, ensure the connected TV or device is set to output PCM audio, otherwise, the receiver may not produce sound.
Protection system
If the protection system is triggered (indicated by the ATT LED), the audio output will be interrupted for approximately 2 seconds. If this happens frequently, check your speaker wiring for short circuits or impedance issues.
Technical features
- Power: 400W RMS (4 x 100W).
- Impedance: 2 Ohms per channel / 4 Ohms bridged.
- Frequency Response: 15 Hz to 50 KHz.
- Power Supply: 90V ~ 140V AC or 190V ~ 240V AC.
- Dimensions: 398 x 59 x 194 mm.
Practical help
Common problems
Protection system triggers (ATT LED turns on)
Check for short circuits in speaker wiring or ensure speaker impedance is not below the minimum (2 Ohms normal, 4 Ohms bridged).
No sound from Optical input
Ensure the TV or audio source is configured to output standard PCM audio.
Unwanted noise in audio
Check the quality of cables and connections. Ensure cables are of the correct gauge for the distance used.
Before use
- Ensure installation is performed by a qualified professional.
- Verify power supply is between 90V and 240V AC.
- Check speaker impedance (2 Ohms normal, 4 Ohms bridged).
- Use appropriate cable gauges based on distance (e.g., 1mm² for up to 20m, 4mm² for up to 100m).
- Ensure ventilation holes on the top and rear are not blocked.
Specs in practice
- Frequency Response
- 15 Hz to 50 KHz, covering the full audible spectrum.
- Power Supply
- Automatic bivolt (90-240V AC), compatible with most standard power outlets.
