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 

 or VOL

 +

 will always change master volume level except in the SOURCE 

LEVEL menus.
