This image demonstrates connecting an active subwoofer to the amplifier's SUB OUTPUT.
3. Audio Source Connection
Connect your audio source (e.g., PC, CD/DVD player) to the AUDIO INPUT (RCA L/R) jacks using appropriate RCA cables. Alternatively, for devices with a 3.5mm output, use the AUX Input on the front panel.
4. Power Connection
Connect the provided power adapter to the Power Input (DC 12V/5A) on the back panel, then plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
Press the power button on the front panel to turn the amplifier on or off.
2. Input Source Selection
Press the MODE button on the front panel or remote control to cycle through available input sources: LINE (RCA), AUX (3.5mm), Bluetooth (BT), USB, and SD card. The selected mode will be displayed on the LCD.
3. Bluetooth Pairing
When in Bluetooth mode, the amplifier will automatically enter pairing mode. On your device (smartphone, tablet, PC), search for "BT" or "S-299" in the Bluetooth settings and select it to pair. A confirmation sound will indicate successful pairing.
This image illustrates how the amplifier connects wirelessly to various Bluetooth-enabled devices.
4. USB/SD Card Playback
Insert a USB flash drive or SD/TF card containing audio files into the respective slot on the front panel. The amplifier will automatically switch to USB or SD mode and begin playback. Use the Play/Pause and Previous/Next buttons to control playback.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power adapter not connected or faulty; power outlet not working. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the amplifier and a working power outlet. |
| No sound output | Incorrect input mode selected; speaker wires loose or incorrectly connected; volume too low; audio source issue. | Verify the correct input mode is selected. Check all speaker and audio input connections for security and correct polarity. Increase the master volume. Test with a different audio source. |
| Bluetooth pairing failure | Device too far; Bluetooth not enabled on source device; interference. | Ensure your Bluetooth device is within range (approx. 30 feet). Confirm Bluetooth is enabled on your device and try re-pairing. Minimize interference from other wireless devices. |
| Distorted sound | Volume too high; incorrect tone settings; speaker impedance mismatch; poor audio source quality. | Reduce the volume. Adjust Bass and Treble settings. Ensure speakers meet the 4-8Ω impedance requirement. Use a high-quality audio source. |
| USB/SD card not playing | Unsupported file format; corrupted files; card/drive not properly inserted. | Ensure audio files are in a supported format (e.g., MP3). Reinsert the USB drive or SD card. Try a different USB drive or SD card. |
