Manual
The amplifier will switch between headphone and speaker operation when headphones are connected/unplugged.
If headphones are permanently connected it is still possible to switch between headphone and speaker operation
manually by touching PHONES on the front panel.
Headphone operation can only be selected manually. Switch between headphone and speaker operation by
touching PHONES on the front panel.
Enables left/right channel balance adjustment. This is the same function that is available via the quick-access
balance adjust keys on the front panel and remote control. Refer to the ‘Balance’ section for more detail.
The sensitivity of the front panel touchpads is adjustable to compensate for changes in the local environment. Low,
Medium and High settings are available. The default ‘Medium’ setting is normally suitable for most systems.
Setting to ‘High’ will increase touchpad sensitivity if these are unresponsive or ‘Low’ if there are occasional false
responses. After setting the sensitivity, operate the Standby touchpad once to complete the setup.
NOTE: It is necessary to hold the Standby touchpad briefly to operate it.
Enables selection of different digital filter options for the DAC stage. This is the same function that is available via
the quick-access FILTER touchpad on the front panel. Refer to the ‘Filter’ section for more detail.
Input
Select an input to configure
Source Type
Change the Source Type of the selected input. Setting this option will determine how the selected input will respond
to MC-BUS commands. For example, if an input source type is set to ‘Streamer’, and the system is cabled for MC-
BUS control, a connected Cyrus streamer will switch on when that input is selected. Choose ‘Unspecified’ to disable
MC-BUS from the selected input.
NOTE: The source type selected will not change the name of the input. The input name can be changed separately
via the Name menu option.
Change the name of the selected input. Choose a name from the list provided.
NOTE: The name chosen will not change the MC-BUS response of the selected input. The MC-BUS response can be
changed separately via the Source Type menu option.
Change the volume offset for the selected input. Whilst digital inputs will generally play at equal volumes, analogue
inputs will play at different volumes, depending on the output of the source. Volume offset is an option that can
equalise the volume of all the connected sources by reducing the volume level for louder sources or increasing the
volume of quieter sources.
The Max Vol option enables a volume limit to be set for the selected input when listening via speakers. Once set, the
volume control cannot be increased beyond the set limit. To limit the volume setting available from all inputs, each
will need to be set individually.
The Max HP Vol option enables a volume limit to be set for the selected input when listening via headphones. Once
set, the volume control cannot be increased beyond the set limit. To limit the volume setting available from all
inputs, each will need to be set individually.
