E. REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control provides the ability to remotely:
•
Select the line source input using either the numbered selector buttons (1 to 5) or the
channel up/down arrow buttons (Please see Figure 3).
•
Control the volume level using the right (louder) and left (quieter) arrow buttons adjacent
to the channel arrow buttons.
•
Mute the volume using the button labeled “MUTE”. To raise the volume again after
muting, press the Mute button to take the volume level to where it was prior to muting. In
Mute mode, the light above the “operate” button on the front panel of the L-8500
OTL/OCL will not be illuminated; it will illuminate when the L-8500 OTL/OCL is unmuted
again.
•
Use the red power on/off button in the top left-hand corner of the remote control to
power the L-8500 OTL/OCL on and off.
INITIAL POWER-ON
Once you have your L-8500 OTL/OCL in place and all connections have been made to your
sources and amplifier(s) and the power cord is installed and plugged into an AC receptacle, you
are ready to turn on the power for your L-8500 OTL/OCL. Before you power up the L-8500
OTL/OCL, though, be sure you have:
•
CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY removed ALL the cardboard cushion materials from inside the
tube chimneys
•
ensured all tubes are snugly in their sockets
•
ensured the batteries are in the remote control – if not, insert the batteries (by removing
plate on the bottom of the remote control)
•
turned the volume down on, or muted the L-8500 OTL/OCL
•
checked that all your connections are snug
Also, be sure you have manually turned the volume control on the front panel to the extreme
counter-clockwise position (minimum volume).
Push the power on-off switch to the left of the IEC connector (facing the left side of the unit as
in Figure 1) so it is in the “on position”. That will power up the L-8500 OTL/OCL. From this point
on, you need only use the far left hand button marked “power” on the front panel or the power
button on the remote control to turn the L-8500 OTL/OCL on and off.
Once the power has been turned on, the following will happen on the front panel (Please see
Figure 4):
•
the light above the “power” button will illuminate
•
the meters on the front panel will illuminate
