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 16).
4 Infrared Sensor
Receives infrared (IR) commands from the supplied remote control.
Ordinarily, your éloquence 250i 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.
5 Front Panel Buttons
Use these buttons to control your éloquence 250i 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.
6 Display
The liquid crystal display (LCD) used to show information relating to the
operation and status of your éloquence 250i integrated amplifier.
7 Auxiliary Input
The auxiliary input allows the connection of a portable auxiliary source, for
example an iPod™ MP3 player. The auxiliary input accepts a 3.5mm (
8
”)
stereo plug.
Notes: The AUXILIARY input will automatically be selected as the current
source when a plug is connected. When the plug is disconnected, the input
will revert to the last selected source, unless another source input was
selected while the auxiliary was still connected.
The volume of the auxiliary source should be set to the highest level which
provides the best performance without distorting the audio.
8 Headphone Output
The headphone output allows connection of headphones with a 6.4mm
(
4
”) plug. Headphones with an impedance of between 32Ω and 600Ω are
recommended. When the headphones are connected, the output to the
loudspeakers is disconnected.
