MOON 340i Integrated Amplifier
Operating the 340i
We recommend that you leave your MOON 340i Integrated Amplifier powered up at all times to for optimal performance. In
the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the Integrated Amplifier may not be a bad
idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your 340i will require several hours of playing time before it reaches
its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
Making the AC Connection: Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC receptacle, located on the rear panel of
the integrated amplifier’s chassis. Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground. For the best sonic
performance, it is preferable that you plug your MOON 340i directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension
cord. In order to obtain the maximum performance from your audio system, we strongly recommend that the detachable
power cord not come into physical contact with any of the interconnect and speaker cables running to and from your 340i.
In the event that this can’t be avoided, you should ensure that any cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at
a ninety degree angle to minimize the contact area.
Turning on your MOON 340i for the first time: Prior to turning the integrated amplifier on for the first time, make
sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any problems. Then turn on your integrated amplifier in the following
manner:
1) Flick the main rocker switch labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position on the rear of the 340i.
2) Press the push button labeled “Standby” on the 340is front panel. The blue LED will illuminate.
On and Off Sequence: To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps” and “pops”) emanate from your speakers
when powering your 340i on or off, you should:
1) Always power up your 340i integrated amplifier after powering up your source component(s).
2) Always power down your 340i before powering down your source component(s).
