9 TAPE2/SSP INPUT
The tape2/ssp input of the PRE is special in that it may be used as either
a normal tape input such as you might find on other preamplifiers, or as
a dedicated surround sound processor loop. (See Using Surround Sound
Processors for more information.)
10 POWER & POWER LED
Assuming that the PRE’s power cord is connected to AC power, pressing
this latching power button connects the PRE to the AC mains and turns
on the unit. When power is restored after an interruption, the PRE will
be ready to operate (that is, it won’t be in standby mode), after a few
moments’ delay to allow its circuits to stabilize.
Front panel standby While most people will toggle the PRE between standby and
operate from the included remote control, if you need to do
so when the remote control is not nearby, you can press and
hold the “path” button for a few seconds.
While the PRE is in standby, the LED above the power button is red.
When the PRE is ready to operate (that is, when it is not in standby
mode), this LED is amber. Naturally, when AC power is off, the LED is
off.
