The PRO ON mode allows to use the power amplifier section of your
amplifier in combination with an external multi-channel Audio processor
like AP-180. A specific input (PRO IN) is dedicated to this mode. A long
pressure (2 seconds) on the MON/PRO key and the display will indicate:
It is necessary to confirm your choice by a second depression on the
MON/PRO key. .The question mark disappears.
Press once again the MON/PRO key to return to normal operation.
If you go to standby mode (Pressure on the STANDBY key) or if a power
failure happens while your unit was set in PRO ON mode, the unit will
revert automatically into PRO ON mode when going out of standby or
when power comes back again.

PRE-OUT OUTPUTS
Your amplifier is fitted with PRE-OUT outputs to allow you to use an external
power amplifier.
2.1 MODE
Your amplifier is equipped with a SUB-OUT output. You can connect an active
subwoofer to this output. The level of this output is set by the main volume control
of the unit.
If you have an audio-video processor like AP-180, a SUB-IN input is available just
above the SUB-OUT connector.
Connect the SUB-OUT of your audio-video processor to the SUB-IN of your
amplifier. When in Stereo mode your amplifier will control the level of your active
subwoofer while when in PRO-ON mode the audio-video processor will take
control over your active subwoofer.
This unique feature allows a complete different subwoofer set-up between stereo
mode and home cinema mode.
ANALOG INPUTS NAMES
The four analog inputs AN1, AN2, AN3, et AN4 can be renamed using the internal
name library of the microcontroller of your amplifier.
The following names are available: OFF, CD, FM, DVD, TV, SAT, VCR, AUX, AV1,
AV2, MP3, SPE, PVR and GAME.
To replace the name of a source, place your amplifier on this source and make a
long pressure on the second key INPUT SELECT >. The display shows then:
Using the central rotary knob the name between the brackets will scroll through the
list of available names until you find the one you are looking for.
If you wish to change another input name press again on the INPUT SELECT >
key and proceed in the same way. Once your choice is done wait 5 seconds and
your amplifier will revert to normal operation. During the change of name, listening
continues normally without any interruption.
REMOVING AN INPUT
[OFF]
While you are setting the names on the four analog inputs, the name [OFF]
appears in the list of available names. If you choose to name one or more inputs
with this name, the selected inputs will be removed from the listening loop.
Example: You have three sources, a vinyl turntable connected to PHONO input,
a CD player that you have connected to AN2 named CD and a FM tuner
connected to AN4 named FM.
If you scroll through the inputs, your amplifier will indicate: PHO, AN1, CD, AN3,
FM, iPod.
If you wish that AN1 and AN3 do not appear when selecting the different inputs,
you should assign them with the name [OFF]. Your amplifier will then indicate:
PHO, CD, FM, iPod.
SPECIAL NAMES
(CD, FM)
In the list of available names, two names CD and FM are different than the other
ones.
If an analog input has been named CD, a short pressure on the CD key of the
Micromega system remote control handset will set your Micromega CD player out
of standby if it was, set also your amplifier out of standby if it was and set your
amplifier automatically on the CD input.
It is exactly the same with any input named FM and the FM key of the Micromega
system remote control handset.
IDOK INPUT
Your amplifier is equipped with a DB9 female connector located at the left end side
of the rear panel. This connector is used to attach it a Micromega iDok.
This optional unit allows you to charge your iPod or your iPhone and to control
them using the Micromega system remote control handset.
On another end, as soon as your amplifier will have detected the presence of an
iPod or an iPhone, it will automatically select the iDok analog input and the front
panel iPod input will be disconnected.
CONTROL VIA RS-232INTERFACE
Your amplifier is equipped with a DB9 female connector to control it via
RS232 interface.
It accepts the following format:
Baud Rate
: 19200 Bauds
Data bits : 8
Parity bit : None
Stop bits : 1
Flow control : None
You will find complete instructions concerning this interface in the
separate RS232 manual.
