Using the
Remote
All of the most-used functions can be operated from the included IR remote control.
Idle Mode
Use the “Off” button to put the unit in Idle mode. Use the “On” button to return it to the
operating mode.
Volume and Balance
There are two sets of volume buttons on the remote, and you may use whichever are more
comfortable or convenient for you. One set is the bar with “-“ and “+” symbols on it. The other
set of volume controls is the up and down arrows.
Input Select
There are 9 input buttons that allow you to directly select any of the Stellar Strata Amplifier’s
sources.
Filter and Phase
The Strata has a digital filter that can tailor the sound of digital sources to the listener’s
preference. Changing the filter and phase settings is often desirable during a listening session,
and buttons are provided to adjust those settings directly from the remote control. Please see the
corresponding sections under “Menu Features” for more details on what these features do.
NOTE: The filter settings only apply to digital inputs.
Display Dim
Pressing the “Dim” button will turn off the display and all the indicators on your Stellar Strata
Amplifier. Any time you press any button on your remote control, the Strata will wake up and
reactivate the display and indicators for 7 seconds. After 7 seconds with no button activity, the
display will go dark again. Pressing the “On” button will restore the Strata display to normal
operation.
NOTE: The “Dim” button operates many PS Audio products, so that one button press will
darken your entire equipment stack for a less distracting listening experience.
HT (Home Theater)
The HT, or Fixed Volume button, activates the fixed volume input, Analog Input #3 as described
in the Setup section of the manual. If you have not configured your Stellar to use this feature the
HT button will not do anything.
