A. Volume: Use these buttons to adjust the volume.
B. Mute: Use this button to mute the sound.
Battery Installation
You will require a small size Allen Hex Wrench, provided.
1) On the top and bottom of the remote you will see 4 hex screws on each end of the remote.
Using the provided Allen Wrench, remove the 2 top UPPER section hex screws only. Carefully
separate the top panel of the remote control from the lower panel of the remote control.
Handle carefully as do not damage the signal diode.
After separation the top panel, insert 2 x AAA batteries, observes the polarity!
2) Test it and then re-assemble.
Remote Control Operation
Point the remote control emitter diode to the front of the amplifier. To increase the volume,
depress the right button with the upward facing arrow. To decrease the volume, depress the
left button with the downward facing arrow. The mute button is located above the volume
control buttons.
When the remote control range is has become shortened, replace the batteries. Always
replace the batteries as a new PAIR! Check Voltages and DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE
Batteries. Use a dry soft cloth to clean the remote control and battery spring when replacing
with new batteries. Keep remote control, dry, out of direct sunlight or heat. DO NOT DROP!
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Your new Ayon Audio electronics Orion tube amplifier has an initial break–in period.
The unit will not perform to its full sonic potential when first installed in your system. This is partially
due to a residual polarization of the dielectric materials used in the PCB, like resistors, capacitors,
chokes, transformers and internal wiring. As music is played through the unit, the electrical signal
will gradually anneal these materials. Only after the break-in period will the full performance of
your Ayon Audio Orion is fully realized. The break-in process will occur naturally as music is
played through the system. The recommended break-in procedure is as follows:
° Initial warm-up: five to eight hours of quiet music.
° Extended break- in: 30 to 50 hours of mid volume level and dynamic source material.
Note: For best results, do not burn–in your Orion continuously for more than 6- 8 hours. Give the
unit a break before you turn it on again. Burn-in the Orion without any stress and be sure to use
the system, “Normally”. During the break-in period, the sonic properties of your unit may
undergo several gradual shifts as the various components break–in at different rates. It is
therefore suggested that the fine tuning of the system be delayed until after the break–in
period is completed. However, during the final phases of the break–in period, the sonic image
will open up, the sound stage will bloom to perfection, the bass control and impact will increase
and the overall sound will have a more involving sound stage presentation.
