3.1. 

Controls

3.1.1.  Power switch

The power switch [1] is a rocker switch type. It does not isolate the unit
from the mains power.

-

OFF

The unit is switched off. The power consumption is low (1 W typical).

-

ON

The unit is switched on and ready for operation.

3.1.2.  MUTE A/B switch

When the mains power switch is set to the on position, the MUTE A/B
switches (push buttons) [2] can be used to mute the respective amplifier
channel or place the D6 in Standby mode.

Note:

The setting of the MUTE A/B switch is stored in the D6 when the

mains power is turned off or disconnected. After switching on or
reconnecting the unit it will revert to its previous status.

MUTE / STANDBY

- A brief press of the MUTE A or B switch will mute the corresponding

channel A or B. The channel is unmuted by briefly pressing the
corresponding MUTE switch.

- A longer press (approx. 1.5 s) of MUTE A or B places the D6 in

Standby mode. Briefly pressing the MUTE A or B switch again powers
on the D6 ready for use. The D6 may also be powered back on by
remote control from Standby mode.
