OPERATION
1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set the volume to minimum.
2. Set the volume on the volume control to maximum (fully clockwise).
3. If you are using a Niles speaker-selection system, locate the ON/OFF button that corresponds to the speaker pair
you wish to play. Set it to the ON position. Make sure the defeatable protection circuit is not enabled. See
USING
SPEAKER SELECTORS WITH IM VOLUME CONTROLS
, on page 6.
4. Turn ON the amplifier or receiver and select a source, such as the tuner or CD player.
5. Observe the MVC100 Mute button:
Red
: MUTE ON,
Green
: ACTIVE. If Mute button is Red, activate the speakers by
briefly pressing the Mute button changing its color to Green.
6. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to a comfortable – not maximum – listening level. Don’t
overdrive or “clip” your amplifier. If the sound becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of your
amplifier’s volume capability. Reduce the volume at once to avoid damaging your speakers.
7. Use the volume control to adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired listening level. If all the speaker pairs
in your system are equipped with Niles volume controls, you can set the amplifier or receiver volume at one posi-
tion and use the Niles controls exclusively.
