340i Integrated Amplifier
Front Panel Controls
The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The large display window indicates the selected input source. If your Nēo
340i includes the digital input option, additional information will appear in the display window. Refer to the section entitled
"Optional Digital Inputs" on page 8 for further details.
The "Standby" button disengages the input section from the rest of the 340i's circuitry. When in "Standby" mode all audio
circuitry remains powered up to help maintain optimal performance. When switching back from "Standby" to the "on" mode,
the blue LED directly above the display window will illuminate, As well, the current 'input' will be memorized from the previous
listening session. The blue indicator LED turns off when the 340i is in "Standby" mode.
The "MP" button (for Media Player) has its corresponding input connection located on the right side of the front panel for easy
access. It uses a 1/8" mini-jack connector which is the most common type of connection found on portable media players.
When selected, the corresponding red LED, located to the left of the button, will illuminate. When the "MP" input is in use the
display window automatically turns off.
The "Display" button allows you to turn the digital display on and off.
The two (2) buttons labeled ◄ INPUT ► allow you to sequentially scroll, either forward (►) or backward (◄) through all of the
available inputs. Depending on the installed options, the order of the inputs is as follows going forward (►):
Basic Unit:
All options installed:
The above abbreviations correspond directly to the labeling of the rear panel inputs. By default the "CD" input is intended for
use with a CD Player, however you can connect another type of source component to it. "A1", "A2" and "A3" are intended for
use with any type of source component that outputs analog signal. If you have installed the optional phono section, the "A3"
input is replaced by "PH". If you have installed the balanced input option, "B1" will appear after the "A3" / "PH" input. Finally,
if you have installed the digital input option, "D1", "D2", "D3" and "D4" will appear after either "B1" (if you have the balanced
option) or "A3" / "PH". The optional inputs only appear if they are installed.
The "Spk off" button turns off the output signal only to the loudspeakers connected to the Nēo 340i. This feature is very
useful when using headphones. When this function is engaged, the red LED located to the right will illuminate.
The "Mute" button mutes the output signal to the loudspeaker terminals, headphone jack, as well as both the fixed and
variable line output connectors (refer to the section entitled "Rear Panel Connections" for further details). Pressing the "Mute"
button a second time will reinstate the volume back to its previous level. When the output signal is muted, the red LED to the
right will repeatedly flash on and off.
