Basic operation
2.1
First operation / self test
In case the CS 2.2 was not connected to mains a self test will be performed when it is
switched on by the mains switch (33) for the first time. The unit will check its configuration
and that all the installed components work properly. The procedure is shown in the display.
Afterwards the unit will switch to stand by.
2.2
Switching on / stand by
Using the button power (1) you can switch between on (operate) and stand by. When
switched on, the display (3) lights up and the LED (2) is off. In stand by mode the display is off
and the LED is on to indicate that the unit is still connected to mains.
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 that you switch the
amplifier off by using the mains switch (33) or pull the mains plug (35).
2.3
Selecting the signal source
A local signal source (analog inputs, digital inputs, phono input) can be selected by pressing
the source selector (12) until the desired source appears on the display. For selecting Tuner
or CD, use the direct access keys (10,11). Other sources such as
Online Services
(
TIDAL,
Qobuz, Webradio
,
Podcasts
),
Music Server
or
USB
(STICK HDD)
(23) can only be
accessed via the optional RC 9 remote control or the free
RC S App for iOS and Android.
CAUTION:
If you switch to another source while playing a CD, the drive will stop first. This
may take a few seconds. If you activate a digital input that has no valid signal,
NO DIG
SIGNAL
or
NO USB PLUGGED
is shown on the display (3).
2.4
Volume setting
Use the rotary encoder on the right-hand side (14) to set the desired volume. Depending on
the rotating speed the volume increases / decreases in steps of 0.5 dB (slow) or in steps of 2
dB (fast). The current volume setting is shown on the display (3).
NOTE:
Please note that if the volume is changed using the optionally available RC 9 remote
control, the level always increases / decreases in 2 dB steps.
