1 SOURCE SELECTION BUTTONS
These six buttons select audio signals from among the six audio inputs.
(Note that both cd1 and bal/aux are balanced inputs which use preci-
sion XLR connectors.) To use these selection buttons, choose the appro-
priate path (see path, below), and then make your selection.
2 MAIN DISPLAY
The main display provides information pertaining to the operation of the
PRE including relative volume levels, and is used in conjunction with the
buttons which surround it. At all volumes above a relatively quiet back-
ground level, and in all modes, the volume control enjoys a resolution of
0.5 dB. Thus a change of 10 decibels would be indicated by a change of
20 in the display.
The main display indicates the volume by default. In addition, it can also
display the balance. Right- and left-facing arrows are provided to indi-
cate the direction of the balance offset, which is implemented in the
same 0.5 dB steps as the volume. Finally, the infrared receiver and trans-
mitter for the remote control are positioned on the left side and center of
the main display, respectively.
3 VOLUME +/–
These up/down buttons are used to make adjustments on the PRE, apart
from source and path selection. While the volume +/– buttons normally
control the volume of the music system (main path), they can be used in
concert with other buttons to control several aspects of system perfor-
mance (as indicated below).
