MUTE

Use this button when you require the preamplifier to mute the output from the preamplifier.  Pressing the
button again brings the preamplifier back out of mute.

PHASE

The phase of the input signal to the preamplifier is switched from absolute to inverted 180

°

 with each

press of this button.

STANDBY

Standby disconnects the outputs of the preamplifier and turns off the vacuum fluorescent display tube.  It
is recommended that whenever the Plinius CD

LAD is left switched on but not in use, the standby function

be implemented to increase the life of the display tube.

DISPLAY

The display button on the remote enables you to quickly adjust the display brightness to one of three
levels.  Depressed once and the display brightness falls to zero.  Another press and full brightness is set -
once more and the display reverts to the current user preset level.  This user level is set using the menu
buttons on the front panel as described later in the ‘Settings Menu Structure’ section.  Note that if the
brightness is set to zero, any button press will bring the brightness back to the current user setting so the
screen can be read.

SOURCE SELECTION

The Source button toggles the input selected between CD, Line 1 and Line 2.

BALANCE CONTROL

These three buttons control the signal level between left and right channel.  Use the buttons labelled left
and right to set the channel balance where you require it.  Depress the middle button to enable your preset
balance setting (balance enabled).  Depress the middle button again to disconnect the balance control
circuit (balance bypassed) and centre both channels.
