Remote Control Operation
The MOON 850P Dual-Mono preamplifier uses the ‘FRM-3’ full function, all
aluminum backlit remote control (figure 5). It operates on the Philips RC-5
communication protocol and is can be used with other MOON components such
as CD Players, DAC’s, Integrated Amplifiers, as well as other Preamplifiers.
The ‘FRM-3’ remote uses three AAA batteries (included). To install them, use a
Phillips head screwdriver #1 to remove the three screws located on the rear
plate; insert the batteries in the correct direction and then screw the rear plate
back into place.
To operate the 850P with this remote control, you must first press the AMP
button located on the second row from the top.
The
power button switches the 850P between ‘Standby’ and ‘On’ mode.
The Balance W and Balance X buttons control channel balance; Pressing the
left arrow button causes a decrease in the volume level of the right channel;
pressing the right arrow button causes a decrease in the volume level of the left
channel. The balance adjustment operates in 1% increments. When the balance
is equal for both channels, “Å 00 Æ” will briefly appear in the front panel
display. The range for the balance control varies from “Å 100” for left channel
only to “100 Æ” for right channel only.
The Input S and Input T buttons allow you to sequentially scroll through
each of the preamplifier’s inputs, performing the identical function as the ‘Input’
buttons located on the 850P’s front panel
The Mute button, located between the input and volume buttons, reduces your
volume setting to zero, performing the identical function as the ‘Mute’ button
located on the 850P’s front panel.
The VolS and VolT buttons increase and decrease the volume level. From 30
to 80dB, holding either button down results in 1.0dB volume changes;
repeatedly pressing either button very briefly results in 0.1dB volume changes.
The Disp button allows you to adjust the brightness of the digital display
window. It also provides you with the option of turning off the display,
performing the identical function as the ‘Display’ button located on the 850P’s
front panel.
Mon engages (and disengages) the Monitor loop, performing the identical
function as the ‘Monitor’ button located on the 850P’s front panel.
