Figure 1 : MOON 340i Front panel
The “Standby” button disengages the input
section from the rest of the
340i
’s circuitry.
When in “Standby” mode all audio circuitry
remains powered up to help maintain optimal
performance. When switching back from
“Standby” to the “on” mode, the blue LED
directly above the display window will illuminate,
As well, the current ‘input’ will be memorized from
the previous listening session. The blue indicator
LED turns off when the
340i
is in “Standby” mode.
The “MP” button (for Media Player) has
its corresponding input connection located on the
right side of the front panel for easy access. It uses
a 1/8” mini-jack connector which is the most
common type of connection found on portable
media players. When selected, the corresponding
red LED, located to the left of the button, will
illuminate. When the “MP” input is in use the
display window automatically turns off. The
“Display” button allows you to turn the digital
display on and off.
The two (2) buttons labeled
INPUT
allow you
to sequentially scroll, either forward ( )
or backward ( ) through all of the available inputs.
Depending on the installed options, the order of
the inputs is as follows going forward ( ): Basic
Unit: “CD”, “A1”, “A2” and “A3”; With all options
installed: “CD”, “A1”, “A2”, “PH”, “B1”, “D1”,
“D2”, “D3” and “D4”.
The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The large display window indicates the selected
input source. If your
MOON 340i
includes the digital input option, additional information will appear
in the display window. Refer to the section entitled “Optional Digital Inputs” on page 9 for further details.
Front Panel Controls
These abbreviations correspond directly
to the labeling of the rear panel inputs.
By default the “CD” input is intended for use
with a CD Player, however you can connect
another type of source component to it. “A1”,
“A2” and “A3” are intended for use with any type
of source component that outputs analog signal.
If you have installed the optional phono section,
the “A3” input is replaced by “PH”. If you have
installed the balanced input option, “B1”
will appear after the “A3” / ”PH” input. Finally,
if you have installed the digital input option, “D1”,
“D2”, “D3” and “D4” will appear after either “B1”
(if you have the balanced option) or “A3” / ”PH”.
The optional inputs only appear if they are installed.
The “Spk off” button turns off the output signal
only
to the loudspeakers connected to the
MOON
340i
. This feature is very useful when using
headphones. When this function is engaged, the
red LED located to the right will illuminate.
The “Mute” button mutes the output signal to the
loudspeaker terminals, headphone jack, as well as
both the fixed and variable line output connectors
(refer to the section entitled “Rear Panel
Connections” for further details). Pressing
the “Mute” button a second time will reinstate
the volume back to its previous level.
When the output signal is muted, the red LED
to the right will repeatedly flash on and off.
