1. Power Switch, Standby Indicator and Input Clip Indicator
The SC-3 features a sculpted front panel that conceals two switches under the
flexible ends of the middle section. On the left side, gently pressing the end of the
center section will engage a micro switch under the face of the SC-3, which will in
turn toggle the unit between
operate and standby modes. The international symbol
for power is inscribed in this location to designate its purpose.
The amber LED indicator on the left side of the center section is lit when the SC-3 is
in standby to indicate that it is receiving power; it is off when the SC-3 is either fully
on or when there is no power being supplied to the unit. (When the SC-3 is fully
on, one of the setup memory LEDs will be lit to indicate both power and which
setup memory is being used. Note that if there is no calibration stored in the unit,
setup LED 1 will be flashing blue. If all the LEDS are off, no power is being supplied
to the unit.)
The SC-3 requires approximately 45 seconds to “boot up” when coming out of
stand- by. The amber LED flashes during this startup process, turning off when it is
complete. One of the Setup Memory LEDs will turn on at this point to indicate
which memory is active).
Finally, if the SC-3 detects input clipping on any of its channels, the Standby LED
will flash rapidly for three seconds. If the clipping continues (at least once per
three-second interval), it will continue flashing. In the unlikely event that you see
this indication, you should turn the system volume down to reduce distortion and
potential damage to your speakers.
