System Operation with Smart My-Link
When used as a linked system (e.g. an Integrated Amplifier with a CD Player and/or Tuner), Myryad products equipped
with “Smart My-Link” have a number of extra features that make the system as a whole easier and quicker to use than a
normal hi-fi. These include:
Start-on-Play (CD): Press play on the CD player (or the remote control) and the CD player and amplifier will both
switch out of standby (if necessary) and the CD will play. The amplifier will automatically select the CD source.
Start-on-Open (CD): With the units in standby, press open/close on the CD player (or the remote control) and the CD
player and amplifier will both switch out of standby and the CD drawer will open The amplifier will automatically select
the CD source.
Intelligent Input Selection (Amplifier): Press a source select button on the remote control and the system will awaken
(if in standby) only the amplifier and the selected Myryad source component.
Mute/Pause Control (Amplifier):
When using the CD player, selecting mute from the remote control will mute the
amplifier and pause the CD. When the amplifier mute is cancelled, the CD will continue playing.
Power-Save-Mode (Amplifier): The amplifier will switch the CD Player or Tuner into standby if either source
remains unselected for more than ten minutes.
Automatic Switch-On (CD/Tuner): If the standby button on the Tuner or CD player is pressed, the amplifier will
also awaken and select the correct source.
REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET OPERATION
The MI 240 is supplied with the Myryad Audio-Video Learning Remote Control handset. It will control not only your MI
240, but also any other Myryad integrated amplifier, preamplifier, CD player or FM tuner.
The Myryad Audio-Video Learning Remote Control handset is a very powerful and flexible remote. Apart from controlling
Myryad products it can also control up to 6 further products (e.g. DVD, VCR, TV, Set-Top box etc.) – either by calling up
pre-programmed code sets which are already stored in the handset, or by “teaching” the Myryad handset from your
existing remote.
The remote handset is custom-made for Myryad by Universal Remote Control Inc.. Fully detailed instructions for the
programming and operation of the remote are in the “Home Theater Master SL-9000 Operating Manual” supplied with
the MI 240.
To control Myryad products the handset must be set to AUDIO or CD mode by pressing either the AUD or CD button at
the top of the handset. AUDIO mode is used for operating the MI 240, or any Myryad integrated amplifier or preamplifier
and Myryad tuners. CD mode is used for operating any Myryad CD player.
NOTE: This remote handset has the capability to control all the complex functions of the Myryad MDP 500 Digital
Preamplifier Processor. It therefore has many keys that are not used with the MI 240 and some of the input select keys
are marked differently from the MI 240’s inputs (as described below).
Remote Operation of MI 240 Integrated Amplifier (AUDIO mode).
The t
op eight keys (AUD, CD, DVD, AUX, SAT, TV, VCR, CBL) set the operating mode of the handset. To control the MI
240 first press the AUD key to switch to AUDIO mode. In this mode the remote will also control Myryad FM tuners and
operates exactly as described in your Myryad tuner Owner’s Manual. Only those keys which operate the MI 240 are
described in this section.
POWER
This key operates in exactly the same way as the STANDBY button on the front panel. It sends the command to switch
the MI 240, or any other Myryad preamplifier or integrated amplifier, into or out of standby mode.
VOL s and t
Pressing one of the VOLUME s or t keys will increase or decrease volume setting - in exactly the same way as
rotating the front panel volume control. If the amplifier is in mute mode (after pressing MUTE on the R/C handset) then
pressing the VOLUME s key will automatically disengage mute mode and re-connect the signal to the loudspeakers.
This prevents an excessively high volume level from being set by mistake.
MUTE
Pressing the MUTE key on the handset will engage mute mode, the display will read “MUTE” in place of the volume
setting and all the MI 240’s outputs (except the TAPE and CD-R record outputs) will be muted. MUTE is a "toggle"
function, so pressing the key again will disengage the mute mode. The mute is also disengaged if the volume setting is
increased, either by using the VOL s on the remote control or by rotating the volume knob clockwise. If the volume
setting is decreased whilst in mute mode, the display will briefly indicate the volume setting while it is being adjusted and
then revert to the “MUTE” display after a few seconds.
