Front panel controls
   
With the front panel buttons all functions of the Power Plant can be operated.
All information about the operating state of the Power Plant is displayed by the
LED lamps above the buttons.
In the following sections the functions of the front panel controls and display
LEDs are explained in detail.

Caution!
The mains button is not a mains isolation switch. Even when the LED is not
glowing parts of the machine remain connected to the mains power supply
(Standby mode). The stand-by current drain is stated in the chapter entitled
'Specification'.
If the unit is not to be used for a long period we recommend that you isolate it
from the mains by pulling out the mains plug at the wall socket.
If the machine is switched off using the mains switch the energy
consumption is 0 Watt. When switched off in this way, the unit cannot be
switched on again using the remote control handset. If you wish to switch
the unit on, first move the mains switch to the '1' position.

The integrated amplifier can also be switched on using the source buttons. If the
source device you wish to use is connected to the integrated amplifier via an
E
LINK
cable, selecting that source switches on the amplifier automatically.
Volume and balance
      
(balance setting)
The     control enables you to vary the level between left and right
channels, e.g. to cope with asymmetric speaker locations.
To avoid any adverse effect on the sound, the balance range is limited to
+0,6 dB / -8,0 dB. It is never desirable to reduce the volume of one stereo
channel to zero.
• The level of amplification is the same on both channels when the control is at
the centre position.
•
Rotating the control clockwise offsets the stereo centre to the right.
• Rotating the control anti-clockwise offsets the stereo centre to the left.
      
Volume control employing a high-quality, ultra low-tolerance quadruple ALPS-
potentiometer.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume. Turning the control anti-
clockwise decreases the volume.

(headphones socket)
Socket for stereo headphones with an impedance of at least 50

When listening using a headphone the speaker outputs must be turned OFF
using the

Continuous listening to very loud programme material via earphones or
headphones can result in permanent hearing loss. You can prevent harm to
your own health by avoiding long periods of listening at high levels when using
headphones or earphones.
