BasX  PT1 and BasX TA1

 BasX PT1 and BasX TA1 Front Panel

 1. Headphone Jack

Use this jack to connect a pair of high-quality headphones. 

Note: The Main Outputs are muted when headphones are inserted. 
Note: The intelligent level control on the PT1 and TA1 independently stores and remembers  the 

levels for your Main Outputs and your Headphones. When you unplug your headphones, your 

speakers will return to their previous level, and when you reconnect your headphones, they will 

return to their previous level.

 2. Input Buttons

In normal operation, these buttons are used to select which Input to listen to. (They perform 

different functions when you’re in the Setup Menu; see the Setup Menu section for details.)

 3. Power / Standby Button

This button is used to toggle the PT1 and TA1 between Standby and On modes. When the unit is 

fully Off nothing on the front panel will be illuminated. When the unit is in Standby the Standby 

LED will be lit amber. When the unit is On, the Standby LED will be dark, the VFD will be lit, and 

small blue legends beside the Headphone Jack and Input Buttons will be illuminated.

Note: The PT1 and TA1will only operate when the AC Power Switch on the rear panel is On. 

When the AC Power Switch is turned On, the Standby Indicator will light amber; at which point 

pressing the Standby button will turn the unit On.

 4. Volume Knob

In normal operation, this knob is used to control the Volume on the unit. (It performs slightly  

different functions when you’re in the Setup Menu; see the Setup Menu section for details.)

 5. Standby LED

When the unit is in Standby the Standby LED will be lit amber. When the unit is fully Off, or when 

the unit is On, the Standby LED will not be lit.
