Thank you for purchasing a Current Audio Multi-Channel Amplifier.
Please read this manual thoroughly before making any connections or applying AC power. This
manual applies to both the AMP-1270 and the AMP-870. The AMP-870 has fewer channels
(eight) compared to the AMP-1270 with twelve channels.
Follow the instructions in this manual. It will allow you to obtain the maximum performance
and listening pleasure from your new amplifier.
Please retain this manual to use as a future reference.
May D-Force be with you.
Supplied Accessories
The box includes the following equipment and accessories:

Glossary of Terms
• Amplifier- An electronic device for increasing the amplitude of low level electrical signals, used chiefly in
sound reproduction.
• Bridging- Amplifier bridging is simply using 2 channels of an amplifier to drive a common load for more
power.
• Channel- This refers to one input or output of a stereo zone.
• Continuous Power Out-The ability of an amp to output its full RMS power continuously.
• Frequency Response- Range over which an audio component can effectively produce a useable and fairly
uniform, undistorted output signal.
• Line Level- A low level signal like a CD output that must be amplified to produce a usable audio sound level
for speakers.
• Loop Out- A duplicate low level input signal that can be used to power additional amps to expand your
zones.
• THD- Total Harmonic Distortion; specification that compares the output signal of the amplifier with the
input signal and measures the level differences in harmonic frequencies between the two.
• Zone- Two channels make one Zone sometimes referred to as Room in multi-zone/room amplifiers.
