Interconnect Cables

XLR(Balanced) & RCA(Phono) Interconnect plugs and sockets should be kept clean and free from corrosion. 

The Padma is fitted with gold plated input and output sockets that may tarnish over time. 

If you wish to clean the connectors, switch off the equipment, pull the plugs out of their sockets, and push 

them back in again. Contact cleaners and “enhancers” should not be used as the film they deposit may 

leave a deposit and degrade the sound.

IR Remote Control Operation

When  operating  the  remote  control  the  RED  LED  will  blink 

repeatedly to show that an IR signal has been sent. If the LED 

does  not  light  when  any  of  the  buttons  are  pressed  then  the 

battery will need to be replaced by unscrewing the lower two 

screws on the remote control rear.

 

Powering Up and Down

So long as mains power is applied the remote control can be 

used to power up or down the Padma. The last preset you have 

used will be engaged (as indicated by the LED above the button).

Selecting an Input Source

The group of six source input buttons on the front panel can be 

selected using the remote control buttons. Pushing the source 

up or down button will engage the associated input.

Adjusting Volume

The volume up/down buttons operate as they do anywhere else. 

The LED on the volume knob will come on to provide easy visual 

feedback of the volume setting. Volume steps in 0.5dB steps.

Mute

The bottom button toggles the mute function. In mute mode 

the volume knob LED will flash every 3 seconds.
