Controller chassis controls/indicators
Select knob: Rotate this knob to select the desired input to
send to the Main output connectors. The name and volume
level of the selected input are indicated on the Front-Panel
display. (Note: The Select knob will bypass any input for
which the Input Name Setup menu parameter has been set
to “Unused.”)
IR receiver: The IR receiver receives commands from
the included remote control when the N
0
52 is not being
controlled via its rear-panel IR Input connector (see Rear-
Panel Overview, page 7, for more information).
Aux button and LED: Pressing this button activates the Aux
mode, allowing you to use the front-panel controls to send
a specific input to the Auxiliary outputs, to feed the Auxiliary
outputs the source that is sent to the Main outputs (at a
fixed output level or at an output level set by the Volume
control) or to turn the Auxiliary outputs off. The Aux LED
lights when the Aux mode is activated. See
Preamplifier
chassis connectors / Auxiliary output connectors, on page 9,
for further information.
Setup button and LED: Press this button to display the
Setup menu, which you can use to customize the N
0
52 to
suit your other system components, individual preferences
and listening space. The Setup LED lights when the Setup
menu is active. For complete information about the settings
parameters that are available in the Setup menu, see the
N
0
52 User Guide.
Enter button: Press this button to select or deselect a menu
item when the Setup menu is displayed. The Enter button
does not function during normal operation.
Display Intensity button: Press this button to change the
intensity of the N
0
52’s Front-Panel Display characters
and its front-panel LEDs. Multiple presses of the Display
Intensity button cycle through the available brightness
levels: High, Medium, Low, and Off.
Balance button and LED: Press this button to set the left-
to-right channel balance of the Main output connectors.
The Balance LED lights when the balance function is active.
Note: When the balance function is inactive, the
Balance LED remains lit if the left-to-right channel
balance of the Main output connectors is offset.
Mute button and LED: Press this button to mute and unmute
the level of the Main outputs by the amount determined in
the Setup menu. The LED lights when the mute function is
active.
Front-Panel display: This 16-character alphanumeric
display provides information about the N
0
52’s operating
status. During normal operation it indicates the name and
volume level of the selected input.
Volume knob: Turn this knob to adjust the volume level
of the Main outputs (and of the Aux outputs if you have
set them to Main Var[iable] in the Aux mode). The volume
changes in 1.0dB increments up to 23.0dB and in 0.1dB
increments above 23.0dB. The minimum volume level
is OFF; the maximum volume level is determined in the
Setup menu.
Whenever you select an input the N
0
52 applies the volume
offset selected for it in the Setup menu to the Main output
volume level and to the Aux output volume level.
The more quickly you rotate the volume knob the more
quickly the volume will change. Rotating the knob too
quickly will slow the rate of volume change to avoid
accidentally sending a dangerous signal level to your
loudspeakers. Rotating the knob slowly slows the rate
the volume changes, allowing you to make very precise
adjustments in the listening level. The volume taper
characteristics can be changed in the Setup menu.
Standby button and LED: Press this button to put the N
0
52
into and out of the Standby mode. The LED illuminates fully
when the N
0
52 is On, illuminates dimly when the N
0
52 is in
either the Green or Power Save Standby mode, and flashes
slowly in unison with the Preamplifier LED when the N
0
52
is in the Normal Standby mode. See Operating States, on
page 3, for more information about the different Standby
mode settings.
