a. If connecting the amplifier to a projector, set the projector volume to its lowest point.

Then adjust the MPA 152 MD level potentiometer fully counterclockwise.
b. Set the projector volume to its maximum volume level (no sound should come out).
c. Return to the MPA 152 MD and raise the level until sound distortion first occurs, then lower slightly until the
distortion disappears. This setting ensures that, whatever the projector volume setting may be, no clipping occurs.
d. Adjust bass and treble to preference.
7. The 3-pole Remote captive screw connector on the MPA 152 MD is used for remote control of the volume when using a
third party remote control option with a projector that lacks variable audio outputs. The volume can also be controlled
by IR remote control of the projector volume (see the MPA 152 MD User Guide).
CAUTION: All accessory equipment must be UL-listed. For more information, see the "MPA 152 MD Application
Notes" section, in the MPA 152 MD User Guide.
