"But keep in mind that the KPA Utility will not connect to the KPA500 unless the amp is first powered on"
That may be a bit misleading. Depends on what you mean by "powered on". I consider the KPA500 to have 4 states: Not powered Powered but off STBY OPER The utility can be connected to KPA500 in the "powered but off " state and the KPA500 will accept a limited subset of serial commands. One of those commands, P, will turn it on. P can be sent with the Utility "command tester and will change the KPA500 state to STBY. At this point all the normal Utility functions work.
