Fixed Output Level; Factory Default Settings - Burmester 099 Owner's Manual

Fixed output level

Factory default settings

The output volume of the 099 preamplifier may be set at a fixed level. In this
operating mode it can function as a busbar for different source components by
passing their differing signals on at a uniform output level. If a fixed output level has
been set the top LED of the Volume level LEDs (4) will illuminate.
CAUTION: If the top Volume Level LED (4) is illuminated the preamplifier must not
be connected directly to power amps or active speakers! It indicates that the outputs
carry maximum signal gain, which may be enough to damage your power amplifier or
active speakers.
To prevent the fixed output level from being activated by accident it's setting must be
confirmed by a combination of numerals.
Turn the Input selector knob (5) or press the ► ◄ buttons on your remote until the
CD LED in the row of Input selection LEDs (1) goes dark while all other LEDs are
illuminated (see chart).
To confirm the fixed output level you must press the buttons 0, 9, 9, and OK in
sequence on your remote. It must take you no more than three seconds between
pressing the first and last button. Otherwise, the 099 exits the menu.
If the confirmation was done correctly the center Volume level LED (4) blinks briefly
to indicate that the fixed output level has been set. After that it stays lit.
To return to variable output simply press a ▲ ▼ button on your remote or turn the
Volume control knob (7) after the appropriate menu item (CD LED is not lit) has
been selected. The center LED of the Volume level LEDs (4) will go dark and the
099 is back in variable output volume mode.
CAUTION: Before you switch from variable to fixed output volume you must
disconnect your power amp or active speakers from the preamplifier!
To exit the menu, simply press the MENU button on your remote.
If you would like to reset your preamp back to the factory default settings you must
turn the Input selector knob (5) or press the ► ◄ buttons on your remote until the
DVD LED in the row of Input selection LEDs (1) goes dark while all other LEDs are
illuminated (see chart).
If you now turn the Volume control knob (7) in any direction or press the OK button
on your remote the preamp will return to the factory default settings. During this
process the center LED of the Volume level LEDs (4) is blinking. After the unit has
been successfully reset, the preamp returns to the menu and the Tuner input.
The factory default settings are as follows:
- Phase of all inputs: 0°
- Sampling rate of all inputs: 96kHz/24Bit
- Gain setting of all inputs: 0dB
- Startup volume: 01
- Input selection by remote: OFF
- Control knobs on the front panel: ON
- Output gain: +0dB
- Volume control: variable.
To exit the menu, simply press the MENU button on your remote.
