Basic operation
2.1
First operation / self test
When switching on for the first time, a so-called self-test is performed if the device has been
completely disconnected from the power supply or switched off via the mains switch (35). The
device checks the configuration and functionality of the installed components. This process is
indicated by a flashing Standby LED (7) and may take a few seconds.
2.2
Switching on / stand-by
With the power button (1) you can toggle between operation and standby mode. In standby
mode the display is dark and the standby LED (7) is on. As soon as the machine is in operating
mode, the standby LED (7) goes out and the display (9) is activated.
Tube warmup (MP 8.3)
Due to the warm-up phase of the integrated tube line stage, the power-on time of the MP 8.3
is extended by approx. 30 seconds.
CAUTION:
When switched to stand by the unit is still connected to the mains. In case of a
thunderstorm or if you leave the house for a longer time, we recommend you switch the
amplifier off by using the mains switch (35) or pull the mains plug (34).
