XP 20 Owners Manual Rev 0.4
12
The remote control uses a multi-button direct access architecture. This remote is
designed to operate several pieces of Pass Labs electronics, not all of the functions
available on this remote will be applicable to all of your Pass Laboratories electronics.
Specifically the uppermost left hand button marked “power” does not work with the XP-
20. The XP-20 is designed to be powered continuously and therefore this button will not
affect the pre amplifiers operation.
The Remote control operation is, or should be very intuitive in operation; we have
attempted to make its operation as familiar as possible. Where applicable the remote
mirrors the front panel controls.
POWER: As previously mentioned has no reality with the XP-20. This specific control
functions has no effect on this product.
EXTERNAL AMP ON: The “external amp on” button supplies a 12-volt trigger voltage
from the rear panel of the XP-20, which will control various pieces of auxiliary
equipment.
This function is intended to control Pass Laboratories power amplifiers. For specifics
please see the instructions that accompany your power-amplifier. You may also call the
Pass Laboratories factory for specifics.
MUTE: pressing mute once will quiet the pre-amplifier outputs; pressing mute a second
time will return you to the previous volume control setting.
INPUT SELECTION: Pressing. 1,2,3,4,5 will immediately move the input selection to
that input selection; volume and balance settings will not be disturbed.
BALANCE: Pressing balance left (<) or balance right (>) will increase the level in the left
or right speaker, depending upon which button is pushed.
VOLUME: Pressing the increase (^) button or the decrease (v) button will shift the
volume setting 1dB, holding a button down will increase or decrease the level until such
time as you either release pressure on the button or reach the limits of the volume
control.
