Frequently Asked Questions - P3-35 Phase Technology

How do I switch between 2 and 3 channel mode?

Set dip switch 5: UP for 2-channel (stereo), DOWN for 3-channel (left, center, right).

How do I connect speakers to the P3-35?

Use the included Euroblock connectors. Loosen screws, insert 1/4 inch stripped wire, tighten. Ensure + connects to red terminal, - to black.

How do I pair a Bluetooth device?

Turn on the amp (white LED). Press and hold mute on the programmed TV remote for 3 seconds. The amp LED blinks white. Select 'PhaseTech' on your device. Bluetooth takes priority over wired audio when active.

How do I teach the P3-35 to respond to my TV remote?

Disconnect input sources, put amp in standby (white LED). Press and hold on/off until LED blinks purple. Point TV remote at IR receiver, press volume up 3 times, then volume down 3 times, then mute 3 times. Purple LED blinks then turns solid white.

What is the difference between standby and sleep mode?

Standby (green blink) disables auto-on; use on/off or RS232 to turn on. Sleep (blue blink) enables auto-on: amp turns on when signal detected, turns off after 5-7 minutes of no signal. To switch, hold on/off while off (red LED) for 10s until LED blinks; blue = sleep, green = standby.

How do I adjust the equalizer settings?

Use dip switches 2, 3, 4 to boost Low, Mid, High frequencies by +3dB (UP position). All down = Flat. Dip switch 1 selects subwoofer crossover: UP = 120Hz internal, DOWN = external line out.

How do I control the volume via RS232?

Connect RS232 device to 3-pin Euroblock (TX, RX, GND). Settings: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Commands: UV1 (volume up 1 step), DV1 (down 1 step), MUTE 1 (mute), SV 0-81 (set volume). End with Carriage Return.

What does the LED color indicate?

Red: Standby; White: Power on, no signal; Green: Analog or PCM input; Purple: Dolby Digital; Blue: Bluetooth active; White blinking: Bluetooth pairing; Purple blinking: IR learning; Blue blinking: Sleep mode; Green blinking: Standby mode.

How do I connect a subwoofer?

Use an RCA cable from the SUB/LINE OUT to the subwoofer. Set dip switch 1 to UP for internal 120Hz crossover, or DOWN to use the subwoofer's own crossover.

What are the power requirements?

The P3-35 uses a 32V DC, 3.75A power supply (included). In standby (EU), consumption is <0.5W; in networked sleep, <3W.

USER MANUAL P3-35 Phase Technology

The P3-35 is a 2 or 3 channel amplifier with Dolby Digital ^® decoding. It is designed to be used with either an analog or digital input from a TV or other audio source. With a digital input it automatically senses Dolby Digital and PCM and switches modes. The P3-35 takes the input signal from an audio source, decodes it and outputs either a 2 or 3 channel amplified signal to a sound bar or set of speakers. When set in the 2 channel mode it will take a stereo or multi-channel signal and mix it down to 2 output channels (left and right). When set in the 3 channel mode it will take a stereo or multi-channel signal and mix it into 3 output channels (left, right and center). In either mode there is a sub out option.

When used in place of internal TV speakers, change the TV's audio setting to external speakers. Teach the P3-35 the TV's volume codes and it seamlessly operates with no additional remotes.

Standby and sleep settings

There are two modes the P3-35 can operate in; Standby and Sleep. Setting the P3-35 in the standby mode disables the auto-on input signal sensing. In this mode the P3-35 can only be turned on by pressing the Volume control On/Off switch or through RS232 control.

Setting the P3-35 in the sleep mode enables auto-on input signal sensing and will turn the P3-35 on when there is a signal present and will automatically turn off when there is no signal for 5-7 minutes.

Note: The P3-35 goes into standby mode 5 minutes after it stops sensing a signal provided the amp is set to standby mode.

The P3-35 will be switched into networked sleep mode in 5 minutes after it stops sensing a Bluetooth or wired audio signal provided the amp is set in sleep mode.

Setting the operating mode:

1. With the on/off switch in the off position (Red LED).
2. Press and hold the on/off switch for 10 seconds or until the LED starts blinking for 3 seconds.
3. If it blinks Blue it is in Sleep mode
   If it blinks Green it is in Standby mode.
4. To change the mode repeat step 2.
