Controls and functions
1
On / Off switch
A brief press on this button switches the device on and off. When the unit is switched
on the indicator LED above the button lights up.
2
Damping factor
DF LO The damping factor of the power amplifier can be reduced here.
The lit LED above the button indicates the lower damping factor setting.
A high damping factor tends to produce a more clearly defined, very precise and
analytical sound image, whereas a reduced damping factor produces a more warm
and softer sound image.
j
Since this setting depends very much on the connected speakers, no universal recom-
mendation can be given here. Choose the setting after a listening test and your personal
listening preferences.
This button is also used to activate/deactivate the automatic power-on function. Details
in the chapter
Energy saving mode / Automatic power on and off on the next page.
If the A 200 is connected to a DAC 200 via E2 link, the damping factor can also be
changed by a long press on the F3 button on the remote control.
3
Loudspeaker outputs

The LEDs above the A and B buttons indicate that the corresponding loudspeaker
output is switched on.
