1 STANDBY: With the rear panel POWER switch set to ON position,
press this button to switch ON the C 375BEE 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 375BEE 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 375BEE
is in standby state. When the C 375BEE is at ON state, this indicator will
illuminate blue. When infrared command from the SR 8 is received, this
indicator will also ash momentarily.
In cases of serious abuse of the C 375BEE, such as excessively low
loudspeaker impedance and short circuit, the C 375BEE 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 the C 375BEE OFF by the rear panel POWER switch,
wait for it to cool down and/or check the speaker connections, making
sure the overall loudspeaker impedance doesn't go below 4 ohms or
8 ohms in Bridge Mode. Once the cause for the protection circuitry to
engage has been removed, switch ON the rear POWER switch and the
STANDBY button to resume normal operation.
3 BRIDGE MODE INDICATOR: This BRIDGE MODE indicator lights up
blue when the C 375BEE is switched to Bridge Mode. Refer also to the
item below about BRIDGE MODE at the IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
– REAR PANEL.
4 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 di erent input
before plugging/unplugging the external Media Player cable.

5 SOFT CLIPPING INDICATOR: The blue SOFT CLIPPING LED shows
that the SOFT CLIPPING mode is engaged. Refer also to the item below
about SOFT CLIPPING (item 13) at the IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
– REAR PANEL.
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 375BEE to a strong light source such as direct sunlight or illumination.
If you do so, you may not be able to operate the C 375BEE with the
remote control.
Distance: About 23ft (7m) from the front of the remote sensor.
Angle: About 30o in each direction of the front of the remote sensor.
7 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 to 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
counter-clockwise) before connecting or disconnecting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.
8 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.
