settings applied that are specifically designed for MM cartridges. Please note that
when using a phonograph/turntable with a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge, this input
should be set to AUX-2 and an external phono preamp designed specifically
for Moving Coil cartridges used. Press and hold this button for ~10 seconds to
activate the PHONO (green LED) input mode. Press and hold this button for ~5

LOOP Button: This button engages (lit blue) and disengages (off) the LOOP
OUTPUT/INPUT on the rear panel.
K
VOLUME Knob: Rotate clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease
output level. Press to toggle mute on and off. Note: the volume level will be
indicated for ~2 seconds using the 8 blue input LEDS on the front panel. Each
one represents ~12.5% of the volume range. Note: the currently selected blue or
green input LED will flash slowly while the unit is muted. Whenever the nova is
making output level changes automatically, the input LEDs will blink. The blinking
stops when the nova reaches the correct output level. This occurs when mute
is disengaged, volume control bypass is selected and or home theater bypass
is selected. This is to minimize the chance of sudden, unexpected output level
changes.

HEADPHONE Output: 1/4” headphone output connection. Inserting a headphone
connection automatically mutes the RIGHT & LEFT Speaker and PREAMP
OUTPUTS. Removing a headphone connection automatically un-mutes the
RIGHT & LEFT Speaker and PREAMP OUTPUTS. Caution: Please lower the
output level when inserting or removing headphone connections as headphone
sensitivity varies widely and a comfortable speaker listening level may be
extremely loud when switching to headphones.
Note: To enable the rear panel IR input connector and disable the front panel IR
receiver, press the current input button 10 times in succession until the standby
LED blinks 3 times. To disable the rear panel IR input connector and enable the
front panel IR receiver, repeat the procedure above until the standby LED blinks
2 times.
