3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Power Connection

  1. Ensure the amplifier is turned off and all other connections are made before connecting power.
  2. Connect a 12V 5A DC power adapter (if not included, purchase separately) to the DC 12V/3A input port on the rear panel of the amplifier.
  3. Plug the power adapter into a suitable wall outlet.

3.2 Speaker Connection

The LP-838USB features 2.1 channel output. The main speaker outputs are for stereo (left and right) speakers, and there is a dedicated line-level output for an active subwoofer.

  1. Main Speakers: Connect your passive 4-8Ω stereo speakers to the R (Right) and L (Left) speaker terminals on the rear panel. Ensure correct polarity (red to red, black to black).
  2. Subwoofer: Connect the "SUB-WOOFER OUT" RCA jack on the rear panel to the line-level input of an active subwoofer (a subwoofer with its own built-in amplifier). This output is not amplified and requires an active subwoofer.

3.3 Audio Input Connection

The amplifier supports multiple audio sources:

  • RCA Input: Connect your audio source (e.g., CD player, TV, computer) to the "AUDIO INPUT" RCA jacks (Red for Right, White for Left) on the rear panel.
  • USB Playback: Insert a USB flash drive containing lossless music files (APE/WAV/FLAC) into the USB socket on the front panel.
  • Bluetooth 5.0: For wireless connection, refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for Bluetooth pairing.

8. User Tips

  • Subwoofer Compatibility: The "SUB-WOOFER OUT" is a line-level output. Always connect it to an active subwoofer that has its own power supply and amplifier. It will not power a passive subwoofer directly.
  • Power Supply: The amplifier requires a 12V 5A power adapter. If your package did not include one, ensure you purchase a compatible adapter for optimal performance.
  • Automatic Power On: The amplifier typically powers on automatically when the 12V DC power supply is connected. Use the remote or front panel button to turn it off or on after initial power connection.
  • Speaker Matching: For best sound quality, ensure your passive speakers have an impedance between 4-8Ω as specified.
