Operating Controls - Burmester 082 Owner's Manual

With the exception of the AC mains switch all operating controls are located on the front panel. To operate the unit it
must be connected to the AC power supply.
AC mains switch The AC mains switch (23) which turns AC power to the unit on and off is located on the
rear panel above the AC mains terminal. By switching to the ON position the transformer is
powered up and the unit is in standby mode. The standby mode is shown by the lightning of
the Standby LED (2).
POWER button The POWER button (9) turns the unit on and off provided that the AC mains switch is in the
ON position.
When the amp is ready for operation the display (3) will light up.
In standby mode only the standby LED (2) lights up.
After switching on the 082, the safety monitoring system takes a few seconds to check all
functions. The speaker terminals and preamp outputs are enabled only, if no errors are
detected.
CAUTION: Always use the POWER button (9) first to switch the unit off, before setting the
AC mains switch (23) to OFF.
VOLUME knob The VOLUME knob (8) controls the volume level in 61 steps from 00 (mute) to 60 (full
volume). If the VOLUME knob is turned slowly, the volume changes step by step. If rotated
quickly, the volume changes in larger increments. The display indicates the selected
volume level.
The VOLUME knob also controls the functions in the SETUP menu.
INPUT selection Inputs are selected by pressing the respective input buttons (7). The display (3) indicates
the selection.
SURROUND input Pressing the button SURR(ound) (5) activates the input SURROUND IN (12). The signal
from the SURROUND input is routed directly to the power amp stages, bypassing tone
control and volume control.
MONITOR function Pressing the button labeled MONITOR (15) blocks the direct signal path during recording
and switches to replaying the just recorded signal. When the monitor function is activated,
the display will add a –M to the selected source name.
The inputs TAPE and SURROUND have no monitor function.
