Operation
Start-Up
• Secure all rear-panel connections between
Reference 6, power amplifier(s) and input
sources.
• Plug three-prong power cord from
rear of chassis into grounded A.C. wall
outlet. The Power switch defaults to ’off’
when the unit is plugged into a power
receptacle.
• Press power switch (either on the remote
or front panel). The preamplifier will
begin the warm-up sequence, which lasts
approximately 45 seconds, during which
‘MUTE’ will flash on the display. After the
warm-up sequence is complete, the unit
will be muted. Depress the front panel
‘MUTE’ button or the Mute button on the
remote to initiate normal operation. You
may depress the Mute button prior to the
unit completing the warm-up cycle;
‘MUTE OFF’ will flash on the display until
the warm-up cycle is complete.
• Select input source and adjust the volume
as necessary.
Shut-Down
• Activate ‘MUTE’ function.
• Turn off power amplifier(s).
• Press Power switch to ‘off’.
• Turn off input sources.
Note
The Reference 6 should be turned on
before the amplifier in your system. If the
Reference 6 is turned on after the amplifier,
it will amplify any extraneous turn-on
noises the preamplifier or other source
components might generate, which could
potentially damage the loudspeakers.
Good operating practice dictates that
the amplifier should be turned on last,
and turned off first in an audio system.
Break-in
All quality stereo equipment benefits from
a break-in period; during this time, the
various components, wiring and solder
connections change as electrical signals
pass through them. While your Reference
6 will sound fantastic out of the box, it
will only improve with continued use.
