MON
(monitor switch)
Pressing the monitor button enables you to monitor the
quality of a tape or CD recording (tape monitor function).
Pressing the Monitor button switches the monitor function
on. When the monitor function is switched on the symbol
appears on the screen.
Note:
The tape monitor function only works if the recorder
connected to the amplifier supports this function.
Note:
If no recorder is connected, or if the recorder does not
support the monitor function, the music signal will be
muted when you select the monitor function. If this
happens, simply switch the monitor function off again.

BIAS
(idle current)
The BIAS button is used to switch between the normal
BIAS setting and a raised BIAS. The
symbol appears
on the screen if the raised idle current is selected.
Note:
Raising the BIAS level reduces the amplifier’s total
harmonic distortion, especially at relatively low output
powers. This setting is therefore recommended in
particular if you listen at low volume. At high volume we
recommend the normal BIAS setting since the load on
the valves is reduced in the normal position, extending
the effective life of these components.

INFO
Repeatedly pressing this button calls up the following
information on the screen of the
V10 :
1 st press: remaining operating hours of the installed
valve set
2
nd
press: BIAS check, right channel
3
rd
press: BIAS check, left channel
4 th press: revert to normal operation
The amplifier’s output signal is switched off while the
BIAS display is on the screen.
This information can only be called up when the amplifier
is ready to use (i. e. after the conclusion of the power-on
delay). If you attempt to obtain information during the
power-on delay by pressing the INFO button, the
amplifier does not respond.
Note:
For an explanation of the operating time and BIAS
display see the section
' BIAS / Operating hours

BAL
(Balance-Regler)
The balance 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 +2,5 dB / -2 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
Infinitely variable adjustment of the playback level,
employing a high-quality, ultra close-tolerance quadruple
potentiometer.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume.
Turning the control anti-clockwise decreases the volume.
