2 Basic operation
2.1 First operation / self test
In case your CD player was not connected to mains a self test will be performed when it is switched on
by the mains switch (29) for the first time. The unit will check its configuration and that all the installed
components work properly. The procedure is shown in the display. Afterwards the unit will switch to
stand-by.
2.2 Switching on / stand-by
Using the button power (1) you can switch between on (operate) and stand-by. In the on state the
display (8) lights up and the LED (7) is off. In stand-by mode the display is off and the LED is on to
indicate that the unit is still connected to mains.
CAUTION: When switched to stand-by the unit is still connected to the mains. In case of a
thunderstorm or if you leave the house for a longer time we recommend that you switch the amplifier
off by using the mains switch (29) or pull the mains plug (28).
2.3 Display
When the unit is switched on, the display shows information about the current settings and state of
your CD player. Apart from informations about the operating status (CD player, Digital Input etc.) the
lower line shows you currently active settings of the D/A converter: On the left-hand side the sample
rate is displayed. On the right-hand side you will find the current filter setting ("Smooth" or "Steep").
VOL / FIX
Depending on your selection of a fixed or variable output level of the analogue outputs of your CD 3.2 /
CD 5.2 (see 3.1.1), an information on the current output level state is displayed in the upper-middle
part of the display (8). VOL indicates a variable level setting enabling you to control the output level of
the analogue outputs (16-18) by pressing the VOLUME buttons on your RC 3 remote control. FIX
indicates a fixed output level setting.
2.3.1 Display in CD player mode
