To connect multiple audio sources to the Sonance Sonamp1650 amplifier, you can use the local inputs and/or the bus inputs. Here are the steps:

1. Ensure the amplifier is in the OFF state and the rear panel power switch is in the down position.
2. Decide on the appropriate Power Sensing Mode (voltage, audio signals, or always on) and set the Sense DIP switch accordingly.
3. If using the voltage trigger feature, connect a two-conductor wire from the 12 volt output of a zone preamp or DC power supply into the 'V Trigger' inputs on the amplifier.
4. Connect a pair of RCA cables from each stereo source into their dedicated local source inputs on the amplifier.
5. If using the bus inputs, connect the audio source(s) to the Bus A and/or Bus B inputs on the amplifier using RCA cables.
6. Set the channel Input Assignment DIP switches to the appropriate input (Local, Bus A, or Bus B) for each zone.
7. Connect the speakers to their dedicated Speaker Output Block Connectors on the amplifier.
8. If the AC cord is disconnected, reconnect it.
9. Push the power switch up to the ON position.
10. Adjust the volume output with the Zone Level controls on the amplifier.

By following these steps, you can connect and distribute multiple audio sources to different zones using the Sonance Sonamp1650 amplifier. For more detailed instructions and illustrations, please refer to the owner's manual provided with the amplifier.
