MODE has been adjusted in the OFF or DIMMED options), and will switch off or dim again if the
conditions to keep it from exiting AUTO STANDBY mode are still met.
If, to the contrary, the unit is manually forced into STANDBY mode using the ON/STBY
key on the infrared remote control, the unit will not respond to keys being pressed on the front
panel, nor will the LCD screen light up, until it is woken up by again pressing the ON/STBY key or
briefly pressing the front panel rotary encoder knob; the unit will then switch to ON mode.
4.5. LED indicators

SP : The signal presence or SP LED indicator shows whether there is a signal on
any of the amplifier's inputs. This lights up when the input level reaches the
established detection threshold.

CLIP : The saturation or CLlP LED indicator lights up when the signal delivered to
the speakers is close to the amplifier's clipping or saturation level. Input signals
should be adjusted to ensure the
CLIP (saturation or cut off) indicators never stay
lit, but that at most they light up to the rhythm of the lowest bass frequencies.
Otherwise the amplified signal will be distorted with low-quality and intelligible
sound.
Note: The CA200z has an "ANTICLIP" circuit that is always active, constantly analysing the
harmonic distortion (produced by excessive trimming of the signal to the amplifier output),
automatically reducing the input level and actuating only when the distortion limit is exceeded

ON/STBY :
o
it lights up green when the equipment is in normal operation mode. In
this mode, it blinks when it receives commands from the infrared remote
control
o
it lights up orange when in standby mode, a mode accessed by pressing
the ON/STBY key on the infrared remote control.
o
it lights up in green with orange flashes when the unit has automatically
entered AUTO STANDBY mode
4.6. Lock mode
To enter or exit the CA200z's lock mode, the combination of LINE4 + MIC1 + the front
rotary encoder knob must be pressed and held for several moments.
To protect the device from tampering, it cannot be operated with the front panel keys while
in lock mode. In this mode, the LCD screen will display PANEL LOCKED every time there is an
attempt to operate with the keys.
When exiting the mode with the same key combination, the LCD panel will display PANEL
UNLOCKED for a short period of time.
Note : Once the lock mode is activated it will remain so even when the unit is switched off and on
again. It will stay locked until the three-key combination described above is pressed and held.
