How to Operate the C1000
Power On
The Red LED above the STANDBY/ON push-button lights
to indicate the C1000 is in Standby mode and is connected
to a live AC Outlet. To switch On the C1000, press the
STANDBY/ON push-button. Refer to figure 64. The Al-
phanumeric Display will indicate the last input listened to.
If this is the first time the C1000 is switched on, the display
will indicate “15 TUNER”, refer to figure 61. If both
Preamplifiers (C1000P and C1000T) are connected to the
same C1000 Controller the display will indicate “15
TUNER1”, refer to figure 62.
Notes: 1. Dependent upon which Preamplifier (C1000P
and/or C1000T) is connected to the C1000C the
Front Panel Alphanumeric Display will indicate
different operational messages when switched
On, refer to page 42 for additional information.
2. When both Preamplifiers (C1000P and C1000T)
are connected to the same C1000 Controller, the
C1000P Preamplifier Input Title names will have
a number 1 added to the end of the Title. The
C1000T Preamplifier Input Title names will have
a number 2 added to the end of the Title.
3. With the C1000 Tube Preamplifier connected to
the C1000C, the first display on the
Alphanumeric Numeric will be “TUBE
WARMUP”. Refer to figure 63. The amount of
time the display will indicate “TUBE
WARMUP” is dependent upon the temperature
of the Tubes inside the C1000T.
Balance Control
Adjust the BALANCE control as needed to achieve ap-
proximately equal listening volume levels in each loud-
speaker. Turn the BALANCE to the Left to emphasize the
left channel by reducing the level of the right channel. Turn
the BALANCE to the right to emphasize the right channel
by reducing the level of the left channel.
As soon as the BALANCE control is turned, the Volume
Display reads the balance change from 1 to 107 in one dB
steps. Refer to figure 65. After approximately 3 seconds the
Volume Display returns to the Volume reading. To verify the
balance setting without changing it, move the control one
detent in either direction. The display will indicate the se-
lected balance changes for approximately 3 seconds and
then return to the volume display.
The “L” or “R” will illuminate to indicate which channel
has been emphasized by the BALANCE control. It is per-
fectly natural for the BALANCE control to be off the center
to achieve the correct listening volume from each loud-
speaker in many listening rooms. Listening balance can also
vary with different program sources, room acoustics and
listening positions relative to the loudspeakers.
