BHK Signature Preamplifier
The front panel PS logo button is the Ready/Operation Mode control for the BHK Preamplifier. This
control has two modes: Ready Mode and Operational Mode. Ready Mode (Standby) is designed
to keep power on to critical internal circuitry including power supply capacitors, thermally sensitive
semiconductors and integrated circuits. In the Ready Mode the vacuum tubes are switched off to
preserve their life. In addition, the outputs are also turned off, but all the unit’s critical internal solid state
circuitry remains active.
As soon as the button is pressed you enter the Operational Mode and the front panel display will show
the initializing information and begin a 30 second countdown as the vacuum tube is activated. At the
conclusion of the 30 second countdown, the outputs are activated and the BHK Preamplifier is ready
for operation.
SELECT THE INPUT
The first step is to select the input you wish to play. This can be accomplished with the remote control
or through the front panel selector and display.
Touch the selector button to the left of the screen. The first press will show the active input. Touch
again and you toggle to the next input.
INPUT NAMING
For greater convenience it is possible to assign a custom name to each input such as phono, DAC,
etc. To name each input, you must first enter the setup display. Select the input you wish to change.
Once selected, hold the selector button down for 3 seconds to enter the display mode.
The first screen is balance. Press the selector button once again, while in the setup mode, to toggle to
the input naming screen. The input already selected will appear. Depress and hold the selector button
until the Name Edit Screen is displayed.
