Phono Input; Digital Inputs - moon ACE NEO SERIES Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual
Unlike all other inputs, the "MP in" (for Media
Players) has its corresponding input connection
located on the front panel for easy access. It uses a
1/8" mini-jack connector which is the most
common type of connection found on portable
media players and most smart devices.
The "Setup" and "OK" buttons are used exclusively for
programming the numerous
available on this All-in-One. The next section, entitled
"Software Setup", explains their usage in full detail.
The "Phones" jack is used for connecting a pair of stereo
headphones to the ACE. The input connector is a
standard ¼" stereo TRS jack. When a pair of headphones
are connected to the ACE, both the loudspeakers and
the preamplifier/subwoofer outputs will stop receiving
a signal.
The rotary "volume" control ranges from '0.0' (no
output) to '80.0dB' (full output). Within the 0.0 to 30.0dB
range the volume operates in 1.0dB steps. From the 30.0
to 80.0dB range the volume operates in 0.5dB steps.
When you adjust the volume, only the volume level will
appear on the center of the display in a larger format:
