1 STANDBY BUTTON: With the rear panel POWER switch set to ON
position, press this button to switch ON the C 356BEE from standby
mode. The Standby LED indicator will turn from amber to blue. Pressing
the STANDBY button again turns the unit back to standby mode.
The C 356BEE can also be switched ON from standby mode by pressing
any of the front panel buttons.
2 STANDBY LED: This indicator will light up amber when the C 356BEE
is at standby mode. When the C 356BEE is powered up from standby
mode, this indicator will illuminate blue. When infrared command from
the SR 8 is received, this indicator will also flash momentarily.
In cases of serious abuse of the C 356BEE, such as excessively low
loudspeaker impedance and short circuit, the C 356BEE will engage its
Protection circuitry, indicated by the Standby LED turning from blue to
red and the sound being muted.
In such a case, turn OFF the C 356BEE via the rear panel POWER switch.
Wait for it to cool down and/or check the speaker connections. Once
the cause for the protection circuitry to engage has been removed, set
the rear panel POWER switch to the "ON" setting. Then press the front
panel STANDBY button to resume normal operation.
3 PHONES: A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening
and will work with conventional headphones of any impedance. The
headphone socket will work in parallel with the selected speakers. To
listen to headphones only, de-select SPEAKERS A and/or B. The volume,
tone and balance controls are operative for headphone listening. Use
a suitable adapter to connect headphones with other types of sockets,
such as 3.5mm "personal stereo" jack plugs.
NOTE
Make certain that the volume control is turned to minimum (fully
counterclockwise) before connecting or disconnecting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.
4 SOFT CLIPPING INDICATOR: This indicator is illuminated blue if the
rear panel SOFT CLIPPING switch is set to ON position. Refer also to the
item below about SOFT CLIPPING at the IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS

5 MP SOCKET: Using a 3.5mm stereo plug, connect into this socket the
audio output of a Media Player.
NOTES
• If an external Media Player is connected to the front MP socket (using a
3.5mm stereo plug) while listening to a MP line-level source, the external
Media Player will be directly selected with the MP line-level source
immediately disconnected.
• It is recommended to mute the volume or switch to a different input
before plugging/unplugging the external Media Player cable.
6 REMOTE SENSOR: Point the SR 8 remote control at the remote
sensor and press the buttons. Do not expose the remote sensor of the
C 356BEE to a strong light source such as direct sunlight or illumination.
If you do so, you may not be able to operate the C 356BEE with the
remote control.
Distance: About 23ft (7m) from the front of the remote sensor.
Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor.
7 SPEAKERS A, B: The SPEAKERS A and B buttons engage or disengage
the speakers connected respectively to the SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS
B terminals on the rear panel. Press "A" to switch ON or OFF the speakers
connected to the SPEAKERS A terminals. Press "B" to switch ON or OFF
the speakers connected to the SPEAKERS B terminals. Press both "A" and
"B" to engage at the same time both SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B. The
corresponding blue LED indicator embedded around the SPEAKERS A
and SPEAKERS B buttons will illuminate accordingly when each or both
are engaged.
