       • Position the DA2012B in the desired location, and ensure the amp        or standing vertically on the floor or other stable surface.
         is stable.
       • Make sure the Power Switch is off.
       • Turn Channel 1, 2, and 3 knobs to minimum.
       • Turn Bass and Treble to center/straight up.

       MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
       • Connect sources to Channel 1, 2 and 3 input jacks as desired.
         (All these input jacks can be used at once, along with Bluetooth
         audio input.)




                                                                                                    Floor Monitor




       CHECK SWITCHES
       • Check that Mono / Stereo Master / Link In switch
         is set to Mono.
                                                                                                                          Main

       • Press rear panel VOICINGS button to light one of the FLOOR LEDs.

       FOR USE ON POLE OR FREE STANDING VERTICALLY
       • Press rear panel VOICINGS button to light one of the POLE LEDs.

       BLUETOOTH AUDIO INPUT
       • From your Bluetooth audio source device, look for DA2012B and
         select it.
       • See next page for Bluetooth Troubleshooting in case of difficulty.

       FRONT LED LIGHT
       • Check that rear panel button for FRONT LED is pressed in (On/Limit
         position)
       • When front LED lights red, limiter is being triggered, and Channel 1,
         2, and 3 knobs may need to be turned down

        BLUETOOTH® TROUBLESHOOTING
        These steps should resolve any Bluetooth trouble you may encounter:       • On your Android device
        • Power off the DA2012B and leave it off                                    1. Open Settings, select Bluetooth
        • On your Apple iOS device                                                  2. If DA2012B is listed under Paired Devices, touch gear Icon, and
          1. Open Settings app, select Bluetooth                                       tap to Unpair
          2. If DA2012B is listed under MY DEVICES, touch info button,              3. Turn off Bluetooth, wait 10 seconds, turn on Bluetooth
             tap to Forget This Device                                            • Then power on your DA2012B, and Bluetooth LED should flash
          3. Turn off Bluetooth, wait 10 seconds, turn on Bluetooth               • You should now be able to connect to DA2012B via Bluetooth
