Manual

Front Panel Controls
1) Volume Up – increases the output gain
in 0.5 dB increments from 0 to 100 with
100 being maximum gain.
2) Volume Down – decreases the output
gain in 0.5 dB decrements.
3) Balance Left – decreases the gain of the
right channel in 0.5db increments to a
maximum of -6 dB.
4) Balance Right – increases the gain of
the right channel in 0.5db increments to a
maximum of +6 dB.
5) Mute – Red Led above the mute button
will illuminate when the preamplifier is in
mute mode. Disconnects audio input, and
hard mutes the audio output.
6) Inputs – One of the red LED’s on the left
side of the display panel will illuminate to
show the selected input. The input button
allows user to select between the source
inputs labeled 1-4 on the back panel of the
preamplifier. Note: #5 is an internal input
and is accessible only when the optional
internal source is installed.
7) Tape – Activates the input labeled tape
on the back panel of the preamplifier.
Note: the tape output connectors,
regardless of the tape button being
selected on the front panel, will always
output the signal of the main input (button
6) you have selected, without going
through the volume control (output will
be full volume.) Selecting the tape
function can be used for a variety of
functions:
7a) When the tape input of a tape deck is
connected to the tape output of the
preamplifier you may record any selected
preamplifier source (CD, LP, Tuner, etc.)
When the tape output of the tape deck is
connected to the tape input of the
preamplifier you may also monitor the
recording you are doing in order to verify
the recording quality.
7b) Output to an external signal processor;
surround sound processor, or equalizer.
Proper setup of this loop may differ
depending on the processor, refer to the
owners manual of your processor for
setup instruction.
7c) Output to a separate audio system. By
connecting the tape out of the preamplifier
to any input on a second audio system you
can listen to any source you have selected
on the preamplifier, on both systems, at
the same time.
8) Loop - Activates the input marked loop
on the back panel of the preamplifier. This
input bypasses the volume control and all
other internal circuits and allows the loop-
input signal to go directly to the
preamplifier output. Uses include: pass-
through for a CD player or other source
with its own volume control and pass-
through connection to external surround
sound processor.
9) Standby – When in standby mode all
front panel lights are turned off, except for
the standby LED. Most of the internal
circuitry is active while muting output.
