Operation Button(s) Description
Switch on and off POWER (7)
The amplifier is switched on and off using this button at the front panel,
there is no standby option. When switched off the device is internally sepa-
rated from the AC power. When switched on, one of the LED’s near the
input selector (1) is lit. As a precaution, before switching on, the volume set-
ting (3)(21) should be reduced. The switching operation is signalled via the
cables connected in the terminal “POWER CONTROL” (18).

On the front panel: if the “INPUT” dial is turned clockwise or in the opposi-
te direction, each of the input channels will be selected in turn and this swit-
ches the playback between the devices connected to the corresponding
input sockets (11) + (15). The relevant LED lit over the “INPUT” selection
dial shows which source is currently selected.
Using the remote control: A short touch on the button for the desired input
channel (e.g. “S1” changes to the playback of the audio source connected
there.
The illuminated LED near the input selector (1) indicates which audio source
is currently selected for playback. Before switching over the input channel,
the volume (3)(21) should be turned down as a precaution!

On the front panel: Turn the knob “VOLUME” clockwise to turn up the volu-
me and counter-clockwise to turn it down.
Using the remote control: Hold down the button “VOLUME
p” to turn the
volume up. Use “VOLUME
q” to turn it down.
The volume setting affects the signals for the loudspeakers and additional
main amplifier channels (14) but never influences the signal at the output
“REC OUT” (13). If a pair of headphones is plugged into the front of the
device, the volume control no longer affects the loudspeakers but instead
affects these headphones.
Mute the speakers and
the preamplifier output
MUTE (18)
The MUTE function can only be operated with the remote control. It swit-
ches off the loudspeakers, the headphones, the preamplifier output “PRE
OUT” (14) and the recording output “REC OUT” (13). Pressing it again
restores the volume to its original setting.
Change the treble pro-
portions of the sound
TREBLE (8)
With the “TREBLE” control dial on the front of the device you affect the pro-
portion of higher frequencies in the sound. Turning it in clockwise direction
increases the treble intensity and moving it in anticlockwise direction redu-
ces it. In the middle setting the treble proportions of the input signals remain
unchanged. The adjustment of the treble control only has an effect if the
button “TONE” (5) has been pressed. This tone control affects the loud-
speaker and headphone signals as well as the output “PRE OUT” (14).
The signal of the output “REC OUT” (13) is independent of this.
