HTD SERIES MULTI CHANNEL AMPLIFIER OWNER’S MANUAL
Introduction
Congratulations on buying one of the most flexible and powerful home theater or multichannel amps available. These are the ideal amps for mounting in confined spaces such as racks, credenzas, and cupboards. They are also ideal for running for long periods of time without having to worry about over- heating. The internal fans are extremely quiet, only turning on when needed. Each of the HTD amplifiers are configured in such a way that any, or all, of the channels can be bridged for maximum power into 8 Ohms. Two of the channels can also be bridged and used as a subwoofer amp with available controls for cross-over frequency control and well as phase and level control. The amps can also be configured to turn on automatically when a 12 v signal is detected and turn off again when not detected. This is useful when the amp is not easily accessible, or you wish to simplify the turn-on/off procedure. Front panel LED’s indicate status or warn of wiring issues, and a ground isolating switch is available to help troubleshoot hum issues.
Welcome to the OSD family.
Thermal Protection
All HTD amplifiers are designed with special circuitry to safeguard the amplifier under a thermal overload condition. Thermal protection mode will only engage when the unit has been run at high volume for extended periods without adequate ventilation and when speaker impedances are below the minimum levels for the amplifier. In thermal In protection mode, the amplifier will automatically stop output. If this fault occurs, turn off the amplifier and check that the speaker impedance rating is above the minimum rating. Also, check for adequate ventilation around the amplifier and make necessary adjustments. The amplifier may be powered back on once the unit has cooled to safe operating temperatures.
Protection Circuitry
Special circuitry has been designed into the HTD Series Multi-Channel Amplifiers to safeguard under a short-circuit condition. A faulty speaker can also cause a short circuit condition. The Zone LED indicator will blink rapidly between red and blue. If this fault condition occurs, turn off the amplifier and check speakers for short circuit conditions when appropriate.
Installation
Note: the default gain for each channel is set to zero volume. Please adjust for each channel to set the max volume level for each zone. Typically, once you set it you forget it. Instead relying on your source device to control the master volume. The HTD Series Multi-Channel Amplifiers can be placed on a shelf, as part of an equipment rack, or on a table or cabinet. During installation, keep in mind that the amplifiers require proper clearances for ventilation and heat dissipation. The amplifier will take two rack spaces with the feet removed.

2. Status Display Window LED on top of Front power switch and 1-6 Zone LED Status for HTD6150 When switched off, the LEDs will not light up When turning the unit on, the Status LEDs will light up Green, and the 1-6 Zone LED will light up Blue When pressing the power button again, the Status LEDs will light up Amber (Going into standby), and the 1-6 Zone LEDs will turn off. When there are issues on the unit (such as high temperature/ short circuit ), the 1-6 Zone LED will turn to RED, and the power LED will turn to Amber! Noted: if the problem was caused by high temperature, the unit would go back to work after the temperature comes down, but if there are any other failure issues, then the AMP will continue in the failure mode(1-6 Zone LEDs light up Red/ power LED amber). Turn the Amp off and unplug it and Contact OSD customer service. 3. Power/Status 2-way LED light above the Power Button Power LED should be Green when you first press it, the Channel Status LEDs will be Blue. Press the Power Button again and the Status Lights turn off and the POWER LED turns AMBER

9. LP/OFF/HP Channel 1 and Channel 2 for all three HTD Amplifiers feature a switch to select Low Pass/Off/High pass option that only works in the Bridged mode. High Pass means that the frequencies above the crossover Frequency setting selected will pass through, while

11. Ground Isolation Switch This switch selects the level of isolation between the audio signal ground and the AC earth ground. In the normal operation this switch should be in the GND Ground position. If there is trouble with an AC ground hum, try the other two settings for the best operation. For safety, the chassis is always connected to the earth ground regardless of the switch setting.
12. AC Power Switch This switch shuts off the main AC power. Normally the only time you need to turn this off is if the system is going to be shut down for an extended period of time. Use the front panel power button or master trigger inputs to switch the unit between standby and on. The main power must be on for either of these options to work. Note: Also turn the power switch off during lightning storms, windstorms with frequent power outages.
13. AC Voltage Selector Switch Select either domestic ; 110V, or international; 230V
