Operating The 340I - moon Neo 340i Owner's Manual

340i Integrated Amplifier

Operating the 340i

We recommend leaving your Nēo 340i powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance. When you plan on being
away for a few days, it may not be a bad idea to power off your amplifier. Please keep in mind that once fully "broken-in",
your 340i requires several hours of operation before reaching optimal performance after powering it up again.
Turning on your MOON 340i for the first time
Prior to turning the amplifier on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any problems.
Flick the main rocker switch, located on the rear panel, labeled "POWER" to the '1' (on) position. The blue LED on the front
panel will blink for up to 10 seconds while it achieves standby mode. When it stops blinking and is not illuminated, your 340i
is in standby mode. Next, briefly press the push button labeled "Standby" located on the front panel. You will hear a very faint
click sound confirming that everything is in order. The blue LED on the front panel will illuminate, indicating that the 340i is
now powered up and ready for use.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. "thumps" and "pops") emanate from your speakers when powering your 340i on or
off, you should always power up any source components prior to powering up your 340i. As well, always power down your
340i prior to powering down any source components.
Remote Control Operation
Figure 5: Remote Operation with SimLink™
In figure 5 we have a 180 "MiND" Music Streamer and a Nēo 340i Integrated Amplifier connected together via their
respective SimLink™ ports. The SimLink™ output on the 180 "MiND" is connected to the SimLink™ input on the 340i (using a
1/8" mini-jack cable). When you launch the MiND App on your smart device (iPad, iPhone, Android Device) and select this
system's ZONE, both the 180 "MiND" and the 340i will turn on, with the 340i automatically switching to the MiND assigned
input, as described previously in the SimLink™ section. To shut down the system, press "Off" for this ZONE in the "MiND" app.
Figure 6: Remote Operation with 12V Trigger
In figure 6 we have a Nēo 340i Integrated Amplifier (used either as ONLY a preamplifier or in a bi-amping configuration) and
330A Amplifier connected together via their respective 12V triggers; The 12V trigger output on the 340i is connected to the
12V trigger input on the 330A (using a 1/8" mini-jack cable). When you turn on the 340i via remote control (or its Standby
button), the 330A will also turn on. The same rule applies when you put the 340i into Standby mode.
