Operation - Front Panel
1 Power Button
The power button connects and disconnects the amplifier from the mains
power.
2 Volume Control/Interface Knob
Rotate to adjust the volume level of the loudspeaker output and the preamp
output. It does not affect the TAPE output.
The volume is raised or lowered in precise 0.5dB increments throughout the
entire gain range. The volume increment will increase the faster the knob
is rotated, making it easier to move quickly between extremely low and
normal listening levels.
Note:
When the home theatre input (HT LOOP) is selected, or an input is
set to bypass the volume control (see Bypass, page 21), the interface knob
will have no effect on the volume level.
The interface knob is also used in navigating the éloquence menu system
(see The Menu System, page 15).
3 Infrared Sensor
Receives infrared (IR) commands from the supplied remote control.
Ordinarily, your éloquence 150i must have unobstructed line-of-sight with
the remote control in order to respond to remote control commands.
If your integrated amplifier is to be placed inside a cabinet, you may use the
IR input at the rear of the unit (see IR Input, page 10) to solve the problem.
4 Front Panel Buttons
Use these buttons to control your éloquence 150i integrated amplifier. They
are also used to navigate the éloquence menu system and, along with the
interface knob, make any changes to the settings.
Note:
The function of these buttons will differ depending on which state the
amplifier is in.
5 Display
The liquid crystal display (LCD) used to show information relating to the
operation and status of your éloquence 150i integrated amplifier.
