OPERATION

 
Starting 

Once all connections are made, switch on the unit, using the 

POWER

 button front of the unit. The 

MUTE

 LED 

will light. Speaker outputs are muted for about 6 seconds, so no sound will be heard from the speakers. Once 
the 6 seconds is up the 

MUTE

 LED goes out, indicating unit is settled, and ready for use. 

Volume 

The volume should be adjusted for normal listening levels. This is done by turning the volume up/down knob on 
the front panel. Adjusting the volume can also be achieved using the remote handset, using the volume 
up/down buttons (see page 8). 

Mute

CD

 input can also be achieved by pressing the 

corresponding button on the remote handsets (see page 8).

TUNER

 input RCA sockets (see page 7). Select

To use the AUX/HT input as a HT input, move the AUX/HT switch to the HT position. This input is now 
unaffected by the volume control, allowing volume control on an external Home Theatre processor to be used 
directly. Connect Home theatre or other source outputs to the 

AUX

 input RCA sockets (see page 7). Select 

AUX

 input by pressing the 

AUX

 button so 

AUX

 LED is lit. 

IMPORTANT: Take great care when using the input in HT mode. Ensure that the volume control is turned right 
down on the HT processor when first setting up. The HT mode is designed for sources which require their own 
volume control to be used. Connecting sources in HT mode with no volume control could result in damage to 
hearing and/or speakers due to uncontrolled loud sounds.
