Operation
Settings Menu
The Reference 6 has been designed
with a simple, intuitive menu to allow
adjustment of the various features of
the preamplifier. To adjust the settings,
press the ‘MENU’ button on the remote
or front panel. If no further action is taken
with the preamplifier or remote for five
seconds, the Reference 6 reverts back to
its normal operation screen. Continuing
to press the ‘Menu’ button will toggle you
through the different setting options:
While a menu item is displayed, press
‘ENTER’, followed by rotating the
volume knob on the front panel, or
using the volume up/down buttons on
the remote to adjust the settings of
that particular selecton. After making
the appropriate change, pressing the
‘ENTER’ button will confirm the new
setting, and the display will show ‘OKAY’
for five seconds before reverting back
to the normal operation screen.
Note
For the following menu settings, please refer
to the menu tree on page 14 for examples
of the front panel display.
Both the ‘MENU’ and ‘ENTER’ buttons (found
on the front panel and remote), as well as
the volume knob (or the up/down volume
buttons on the remote) are used to make
changes to the menu settings. Note that
the ‘MENU’ button can also be used to
back out of a menu selection, returning to
the main settings options.
Auto Shutdown
The Reference 6 is equipped with an auto
shut off feature, designed to turn the
preamplifier off after a period of time
during which it is not used. The auto shut
off feature senses any interaction with
the preamplifier, such as button presses,
changing the volume, remote usage, etc.
To change/disengage the auto shutdown
feature, press the ‘MENU’ button
until the ‘AUTO SHUTDOWN’ screen
is displayed. Using the volume knob
on the front panel, or the volume up/
down buttons on the remote, you have
the option for ‘off’ (no auto shutdown)
or 1-8 hours. Once you have made a
selection, press ‘ENTER’ to confirm. The
display will show ‘OKAY’ before reverting
back to the normal operation screen.
Note
The auto shutdown feature is not in the
signal path of the preamplifier and has no
deleterious sonic effect to music playback.
