Frequently Asked Questions - Power Core One Limited MAGNAT

How to connect an HDMI source?

Connect the HDMI cable from your source (Blu-ray player, console) to an HDMI input on the back of the receiver. Then select the corresponding input using the remote control.

What to do if there is no sound?

Check that the speakers are properly connected and the impedance is compatible. Make sure the audio playback mode is correct (stereo, surround). Restart the receiver.

How to set up Bluetooth?

Press the Bluetooth button on the remote control or front panel. Enable Bluetooth on your source device and select 'Magnat Power Core One' from the list.

Can I use 8 ohm speakers?

Yes, the receiver supports speakers from 4 to 8 ohms. Make sure not to go below 4 ohms to avoid overheating.

How to adjust speaker levels?

Access the setup menu via the 'Menu' button on the remote control. Use the 'Speaker level' option to adjust each channel individually.

What does the flashing red light mean?

A flashing red light indicates that protection is activated (overload, short circuit). Check the speaker connections and reduce the volume. If the problem persists, turn off the device and turn it back on.

How to use the FM radio?

Press the 'Tuner' button to switch to radio mode. Use the arrows to search for stations automatically or manually. Save your favorite stations with the 'Memory' button.

The receiver gets very hot, is that normal?

Some heating is normal during operation. Make sure the ventilation slots are not obstructed. If overheating persists, reduce the volume or turn off the device temporarily.

How to reset the receiver?

Press and hold the 'Power' button and the 'Menu' button simultaneously for 5 seconds. The device will restart with factory settings.

3. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

This appliance may only be connected to a 12 volt system with negative ground.
The heat radiated when the amplifier is used means that sufficient air circulation is required at the place of installation. It is very important that the cooler's cooler ribs do not contact any metal plating or any surfaces which could impair air circulation. The amplifier may not be installed in small confined spaces or spaces without air circulation (e.g. spare wheel recess or under the vehicle carpeting). Installation in the boot is recommended.
• Install the amplifier in such a way that it is protected as far as possible against vibrations and dust and dirt.
• Make sure that the input/output cables are sufficiently distant from the power supply cables as otherwise interference may occur.
• Make sure that the fuse and operating elements are accessible after installation.
The appliance's reliability and performance depend on the quality of installation. Preferably get an expert to install the system, particularly if you want to install several loudspeakers or a complex multi-way system.

4. CONNECTIONS

4.1 POWER SUPPLY AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON

Important notice: Before commencing the installation, disconnect the plus terminals from the car battery in order to prevent short circuits.

The power cabling usually installed in on-board car networks is not sufficient for a power amplifier's demands. Make sure that the power lines to GND and to the +12 V terminal have been sufficiently specified. A cable cross-section of at least 30 mm ⁴ must be used to connect the battery to the amplifier's terminals.

First connect the amplifier's GND terminal to the battery's minus pole. It is very important that the connection is good. Dirt residues must be carefully removed from the battery's connection point. A loose connection may cause malfunctions or interference noise or distortion.

The +12 V amplifier connection must then be connected with a power cable possessing an integrated fuse to the battery's plus pole. The fuse must be located close to the battery, the length of cable from the battery's positive pole to the fuse must be less than 60 centimetres for safety reasons. Only insert the fuse when all installation work, including the connection of the loudspeakers, has been completed.

Now connect the car hi-fi receiver's remote control connection to the amplifier's REM control jack. A cable with a cross-section of 0.75 mm² is sufficient for connecting the amplifier's REMOTE connection and the control device.

4.2 AUDIO CABLES

When installing the audio cable between the cinch output of your car receiver and the cinch input of the amplifier inside your car, the audio and power supply cables should, wherever possible, not be routed along the same side of the vehicle. We recommend an isolated installation, e.g. routing the power cable through the cable duct on the left-hand side and the audio cable through the cable duct on the right-hand side or vice versa. This reduces interference due to crosstalk into the audio cables.

This also applies to the connecting cable for the remote control for regulating the volume. This cable should not be laid on the side of the power supply leads but together with the audio cable.

4.3 LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

• The lowest terminal resistance is 1 ohm
  When two MAGNAT Power Core One Limited amplifiers in master/slave mode are bridged the smallest terminating resistance is 2 ohm.
• Never connect the loudspeakers' minus terminals to the vehicle chassis.
• Never connect the +12 V supply voltage to a loudspeaker output as this would destroy the amplifier final stage.

If the amplifier is operated with lower terminal resistances or incorrectly used as described above, both the amplifier and the loudspeakers may be damaged. The warranty becomes void in such cases.

5. OPERATING ELEMENTS AND IN/OUTPUTS

5.1 SETTING THE INPUT SENSITIVITY

The input sensitivity may be adapted to any car radio or tape deck. Turn the volume control of your radio to its central position and then adjust the input-level control (4) to produce an average medium volume. This setting usually provides sufficient power reserves at optimum weighted noise voltage.

ATTENTION: only reproduce loud test noises briefly to prevent damaging the loudspeakers.

5.2 LOW-PASS FILTER WITH ADJUSTABLE CROSS-OVER FREQUENCY

Set the desired cross-over frequency with the control (5). This makes the filter adaptable to the installed woofer's sound requirements. The filter's high edge steepness is responsible for the precision reduction of medium and high frequency ranges.

5.3 SUBSONIC FILTER

The subsonic function reduces the lowest bass frequencies. The reduction rate may be infinitely adjusted with the regulator (6). This allows distortions produced by excessive loudspeaker membrane movements to be effectively minimized without reducing the utilizable bass levels.

5.4 BASS-BOOST

The bass-boost function (7) is used to increase or equalize the lower bass frequencies.

5.5 VOLUME REMOTE CONTROL

The volume may be adjusted by using the supplied remote control (11). Please observe during installation that the remote control line shouldn't be routed along the same side of the vehicle as the power supply cables. The remote control unit should be mounted on the dashboard or at any other easily accessible position. Now, the subwoofer volume may be adjusted independently from the settings at the radio.

5.6 OUTPUTS FOR CONNECTING ADDITIONAL AMPLIFIERS / MASTER/SLAVE MODE

In master/slave mode, two amplifiers are controlled by one audio source at the same time. In this case, the slave amplifier adopts the volume and filter settings of the master amplifier.

In master/slave mode, the „master“ amplifier's preamp output signal (MASTER OUT (2)) is added to the “slave” amplifier's amplifier input (SLAVE IN (1)), see also fig. 4a and b. To this end, the switch (9) on the „master“ amplifier (A) must be set to „MASTER OUT“, the switch (9) on the „slave“ amplifier (B) to „SLAVE IN“.

5.7 PHASE REGULATOR

The phase regulator (8) is for optimizing the phase response and frequency response between subwoofer and satellites.

If your car is not equipped with an automatic aerial connection, connect this cable's plus pole (+) to the ignition lock. An on/off switch should be inserted in this case. Make sure that this switch is switched off if the amplifier is not used.
