Fixed output level
The output volume of the 099 preamplifier may be set at a fixed level. In this
operating mode it can function as a busbar for different source components by
passing their differing signals on at a uniform output level. If a fixed output level has
been set the top LED of the
Volume level LEDs (4)
will illuminate.
CAUTION:
If the
top
Volume Level LED (4)
is illuminated the preamplifier
must not
be connected directly to power amps or active speakers! It indicates that the outputs
carry maximum signal gain, which may be enough to damage your power amplifier or
active speakers.
To prevent the fixed output level from being activated by accident it’s setting must be
confirmed by a combination of numerals.
Turn the
Input selector knob (5)
or press the
►
◄
buttons on your remote until the
CD LED
in the row of
Input selection LEDs (1)
goes dark while all other LEDs are
illuminated (see chart).
To confirm the fixed output level you must press the buttons
0, 9, 9,
and
OK
in
sequence
on your remote. It must take you no more than three seconds between
pressing the first and last button. Otherwise, the 099 exits the menu.
If the confirmation was done correctly the center
Volume level LED (4)
blinks briefly
to indicate that the fixed output level has been set. After that it stays lit.
To return to variable output simply press a
▲ ▼
button on your remote or turn the
Volume
control knob (7)
after the appropriate menu item (CD LED is not lit) has
been selected. The center LED of the
Volume level LEDs (4)
will go dark and the
099 is back in variable output volume mode.
CAUTION:
Before you switch from variable to fixed output volume you must
disconnect your power amp or active speakers from the preamplifier!
To exit the menu, simply press the
MENU
button on your remote.

process the center LED of the
Volume level LEDs (4)
is blinking. After the unit has
been successfully reset, the preamp returns to the menu and the Tuner input.
