OPERATION
The following outlines the normal day-to-day operation of your Preamplifier Tuner from the supplied IR remote
controller or directly from your Preamplifier Tuner’s front panel.
POWER ON/OFF
The main power switch on the front panel of your Preamplifier Tuner must be on for the Preamplifier Tuner to
operate. When this switch is off all power is removed from your Preamplifier Tuner. This prevents turning it back
on with the remote control. You can use the main power switch for normal day to day operation but we suggest
you use the sleep function instead so that the Preamplifier Tuner can be turned on and off from the remote. After
turning on the main power you must wait approximately 10 seconds while your Preamplifier Tuner restores its
internal memory and initializes various parameters. You may want to turn off the main power switch when your
Preamplifier Tuner will be idle for extended periods of time or during periods of power line fluctuations. Your
Preamplifier Tuner will not lose its memory while the main power switch is off.

SLEEP
Normally you will simply put your Preamplifier Tuner to sleep (standby) when not in use. Sleep mode keeps a
bare minimum of functions running in order to allow remote control operation and fast start up. Note that the front
panel SLEEP button is lit while your Preamplifier Tuner is asleep and is off when your Preamplifier Tuner is
operating. The front panel alphanumeric display is off during sleep. Also note that the supplied IR remote’s
POWER button is a toggle to put your Preamplifier Tuner in and out of sleep. The remote control also has
separate OFF and ON buttons.

Note: The front panel VOLUME control is also used to control multiple functions and, therefore, cannot always
control the LEVEL. The front panel display will indicate which LEVEL is currently being modified (VOLUME,
BALANCE, BASS, or TREBLE). The VOLUME KNOB never controls volume in the menu system. During normal
operation the VOLUME KNOB may switch to controlling other functions but will return to MASTER LEVEL after a
few seconds. The remote’s VOL
