power LED will light on the supply, as well as the 
backlit display on the main unit. The display will 
indicate the product name will show but outputs are 
muted, for about fifteen seconds, so no sound will be 
heard from the speakers. 

 

 Once the 15 seconds is up the volume and selected

use.

levels. This is done by pressing the volume up/down 
buttons on the front panel. The volume level is readily 
identifiable on the display barographs and numeric 
indicator, in the above example it is set to 33% of the 
full range. 
 Adjusting  the

 

volume can also be achieved using the 

remote handset, using the volume up/down buttons (see 
p. 9).

9).  
If moving coil cartridge is used, the MM/MC toggle

setup for MC cartridges.
