Upon Power Up:
When switched on, the C5i will display its software
revision. The SP1 input will be selected and Soft
Mute will be active. The volume will be set to 50.0.
Front Panel Control Knob:
The control knob is a continuously rotating control
with a push-switch function. Always push the button
with your finger in the direct center of the knob.
Pushing the knob will switch between selectable
values on the display. Rotating the control left or
right will adjust the selected value.
Volume Control:
The C5i allows you to change volume level by
rotating the knob. The volume down function
(counter-clockwise rotation) is very rapid and allows
quick changes in the volume level. Volume up
(clockwise rotation) functions rapidly up to a
displayed volume level of 65.0. It then continues
slowly to a maximum of 100.0.
Input Selection Mode:
Pressing the control knob in briefly will toggle into
the input selection mode. The selected input will be
displayed for 5 seconds. During this time you can
rotate the control knob to scroll to the desired input.
Pressing the knob again will select the indicated
input. The volume level will automatically ramp down
and up during this selection process. If the control
knob is not pressed for 3 seconds, the indicated
input will automatically be selected and the C5i
will
return to the default volume control mode. Inputs are
indicated as: SP1 (SPDIF1), SP2 (SPDIF2), OP1
(TOSLINK), OP2 (TOSLINK), USB, LIn (Line In) and
PH (Phono).
Front Panel Digital Lock Indicator:
When no digital input signal is present on a selected
input, the first decimal point on the display will blink
on and off. For example the display will show: .65.0
and the first decimal point will be slowly blinking. If
this occurs, check that the correct input is selected
and then check that the digital source is connected,
active and functioning correctly. Once a digital
signal is present, the first decimal point will remain
constantly lit.
The sonic performance of the C5i will begin to stabilize after 100 hours of continuous power up.
