OPERATING YOUR MODEL 2100 continued
REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The Model 2100 remote control has a maximum range of
approximately 20–25 feet (6–7.5 meters). Use only AAA
alkaline batteries in the handset and insert them according to
the + and – polarity markings in the battery compartment.
On and Off Buttons
These have the same function as the Power button on the front
panel. These separate buttons enable programming unambiguous
“hard” off and on commands into a system controller or to create
a macro sequence for a learning-type remote control.
Note:
The On and Off buttons are disabled when the rear panel
Auto Turn On switch is set to 12V or AC.
Mute Button
Pressing the Mute button once mutes the signal at all of the
Out jacks except the Record Out. The red Mute light will flash
on the front panel while mute is engaged. Press the Mute button
a second time to cancel mute.
Volume
and Buttons
These buttons control the rotation of the front panel motorized
Level control to increase and decrease listening volume levels.
Tone On and Off Buttons
Press the Tone On and Off buttons to engage or disengage the
bass and treble tone control circuits. The remote lets you hear
whether “flat” or adjusted tone sounds better at your favorite
listening position.
Note:
The remote control cannot make the Bass and Treble
adjustments; these adjustments must be made with the
Model 2100’s front panel Bass and Treble knobs.
Source Input Buttons
Press the Input button of the source that you wish to hear.
“BURNING-IN” YOUR MODEL 2100
Like many other great high end preamplifiers, your Model 2100 should operate for at least
72 hours with music playing after it is first turned on before it will sound its best. Any
volume level is ok. This gives various internal components and wiring a chance to “form”
their optimum electron pathways so they can pass complex musical information with greater
definition, smoothness and transparency. Although your Model 2100 will sound spectacular
when you first turn it on, you will come to appreciate it even more as your listening hours
accumulate. You’ll discover additional musical details you may not have known were present.
