MOON integrated amplifiers are so musically satisfying. The performance of your i-3 will continue to improve during the first 400 hours of listening. This is the result of a “break-in” period required for the numerous high quality electronic parts used throughout this integrated amplifier.
A smooth nylon brush with long bristles (ie. paint brush) is recommended for this task. Finally, you should make all of your audio signal connections prior to making the AC connection between the i-3 and the AC wall outlet.
The blue pilot LED will not be illuminated when the i-3 is in “Stand by” mode. When the i-3 is operational, holding down the “Stand by/On” for two (2) seconds will turn off the front panel digital display.
‘Pre Out’, located next to the A4 input, is designated for output to a power amplifier with single-ended RCA inputs in the event that you wish to use your MOON i-3 as a preamplifier only. The output level of the ‘Pre Out’ is dependant on the volume control setting.
In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the Integrated Amplifier may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your i-3 will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
MOON i-3 Integrated Amplifier Remote Control Operation The MOON i-3 Stereo integrated amplifier uses the ‘SRM’ simple function, all aluminum remote control (figure 3). It operates on the Philips RC-5 communication protocol and is can be used with other Simaudio MOON components.
