Since there is a microprocessor in each control that measures the actual resistance as the control turns, it simply
rotates the motor as long as it has to increment the control to the desired resistance. As is the nature of analogue
controls, some drifting occurs as things warm up which means that to keep accurate, the control may have to be
physically rotated slightly more or less, all of which is handled by the microprocessors. The result of this 'on the fly'
!
correction is that the indicators of the volume control knobs will not always match perfectly.

HOW TO PROPERLY OPERATE THE REMOTE CONTROL!
!
The ZTPRE remote has an ON/OFF button not to turn your preamp on or off but to turn the microprocessors in the
volume controls ON or OFF. It is located here at the top of your remote, indicated by the
the lower small AV button has been programmed to do the same thing, it can turn your volumes controls ON or OFF
just like the red button. You can use either one.
The UP and DOWN channel buttons do
! !
nothing.
!
The + and - Volume buttons are used to raise
and lower the volume of the ZTPRE by first
turning ON the remote if you haven't already
and then pressing the up or down button for
just a 1/2 a second or less. You will see the
volume controls respond by moving 1
!
increment of the 99 positions possible.
Short repeated presses quickly increment the
!
volume up or down.
Pressing and holding the + or - volume
buttons will increment the unit 1 position
followed by a 1 second delay followed by a
continuous rotation until you take your finger
!
off the button.
NOTE: If power button on the remote has not
been turned ON, the volume controls will not
increment in small steps, but instead wait for a
full second or two and then rotate
continuously. This is because the
microprocessors are not turned on, so you
! !
can think of it as being in stupid mode.
