REMOTE  CONTROL

Issue 1:  March 2002

REMOTE  CONTROL

The blue buttons on the remote control enable main functions of the amplifier to be operated
from a convenient distance.  Remaining buttons on this universal handset are for use with other
Musical Fidelity products, and have no effect on the A3.2 Integrated amplifier.

Equivalent buttons on the remote handset have the same functions as those on the front panel of
the unit.

As the remote control uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the transmitter must be pointed
directly towards the receiver window on the front of the amplifier, without visual obstruction
between them.

Pressing the volume-up or -down buttons on the remote handset will advance the motorised
volume control in the required direction.

The 

MUTE

button mutes the SPEAKER output and PRE-OUT sockets.  To show that the

amplifier is muted, the 

blue

LED in the volume control knob goes out.  Press the 

MUTE

button

again to cancel mute function, and the 

blue

LED will light again.

If the range of the remote control greatly decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.
Do not mix old and new batteries - two are required, type SUM-4, AAA or LR03.
