SUPERNAIT 2
7. Operation and Programmable Functions
The SUPERNAIT 2 incorporates some programmable functions and operational nuances. These are described in the
following paragraphs.
7.1 Automatic Input Switching
With Automatic Input Switching engaged the appropriate
source input will be selected as soon as any handset
function for that (Naim) source component is operated. For
example, if the tuner input is selected and the cd play key is
pressed on the handset, the SUPERNAIT 2 will automatically
switch to the cd input. Automatic Input Switching can be
programmed to operate on any combination of the cd,
tuner, hdd and av input buttons.
To enable Automatic Input Switching, first switch the
SUPERNAIT 2 into program mode by pressing and holding
the handset prog key (with the handset in preamplifier
mode). The front panel mute button will illuminate if
automatic switching is already enabled. If it is not enabled it
can be switched on by pressing the mute button.
With automatic switching enabled, pressing the mute
button again will reveal the inputs selected for auto
switching by their indicators illuminating for a short time.
Repeated operation of the mute button will sequentially
select through each possible combination of cd, tuner, hdd
and av inputs and auto switching disabled (all indicators
off). When the desired inputs selected for auto switching are
indicated, stop pressing the button.
Automatic Input Switching only becomes operational on exit
from program mode by pressing and holding the handset
prog key.
Note: The SUPERNAIT 2 will leave program mode
automatically if no control commands are received for five
minutes.
Note: In a few cases some further equipment
configuration may be required for auto switching to
operate correctly. Please contact your retailer or local
distributor for advice.
7.2 Handset Volume and Balance Control
The remote handset volume and balance keys provide some
alternative control characteristics. A short press and release
of a key will adjust by a preset “nudge”, while pressing
and holding the key will result in three seconds of slow
adjustment followed by continual fast adjustment.
7.3 Mute
Mute silences the outputs and can be selected or
deselected by pressing the front panel mute button or
remote handset mute key.
7.4 Display
The SUPERNAIT 2 front panel button illumination can be
switched off by pressing the remote handset (in preamplifier
mode) disp function. Any subsequent handset or front panel
operation will temporarily restore the display. A second
operation of the disp function will restore the display.
7.5 Switch-on
After switch-on the SUPERNAIT 2 will remain muted for 20
seconds while control systems and circuits stabilise.
7.6 Remote Control
The NARCOM 5 remote handset supplied with the
SUPERNAIT 2 duplicates all configuration and control
functions. See Section 15 for more information.
7.7 Defaults
To restore all SUPERNAIT 2 programmable settings to the
factory defaults press and hold the remote handset disp key
while the unit is in program mode. The SUPERNAIT 2 will
exit from program mode following this operation.
7.8 Fault Conditions
The SUPERNAIT 2 will indicate fault conditions by flashing
front panel button buttons. The following table lists the fault
indications.
