  • Page 16: Remote Control

    Operation - Remote Control The éloquence 150i integrated amplifier comes supplied with an infrared remote control. 1 Standby The standby key has no operation for your éloquence 150i. 2 Time The time key shows the time on the display of the amplifier. 3 Navigation Keys The navigation keys are used to navigate your way around the éloquence menu system and adjust various settings (see The Menu System, page 15). MENU DISP 4 Menu The menu key calls up the éloquence menu system, allowing you to customise various settings for integration into your system (see The Menu SOURCE VOLUME System, page 15). 5 Mute The mute key causes the volume of the amplifier to be muted, or attenuated by a user customised amount (see Mute, page 15). TIME 6 Display The display key adjusts the display options, scrolling through FULL, MEDIUM and LOW brightness and display OFF. Notes: If the display is set to OFF, the display will turn on when user input is detected then automatically turn off after the timeout duration has elapsed. PERREAUX Setting the display option using the remote control is only temporary and will revert to the settings in the menu system when the amplifier is brought out of standby. To make the display options permanent you must set the appropriate display settings in the menu system (see Display, page 22).
  • Page 17 7 Volume Up and Down The volume keys adjust the volume of the amplifier. The volume is adjusted slowly at first and progressively increases the longer the volume keys are held. This allows both fine adjustments while making it easier to move quickly between extremely low and normal listening levels. Note: When the home theatre input (HT LOOP) is selected, or an input is set to bypass the volume control (see Bypass, page 21), the volume keys will have no effect. 8 Source Up and Down The source keys scroll through the source inputs, provided they are enabled (see Enable, page 19). If an input is disabled it will not be available for selec- tion using the source keys, although it can still be selected using the s-keys. 9 S-Keys The s-keys provide direct selection of source inputs, and can be custom- ised to select your six most frequently used inputs (see S-Keys, page 23).
  • Page 18: The Menu System

    The Menu System The menu system can be used to configure the éloquence 150i to customise aspects of its operation to suit your requirements, to operate in a particular type of installation, or to view important functional data. Home Screen The home screen provides easy access to the basic functions of the integrated amplifier: volume control, input selection and mute. It also provides an easy to read and highly legible depiction of the selected input and current volume setting. Volume Control Adjust the volume setting using the interface knob on the front panel (or using the remote control). The display will show the volume level in decibels (dB). The maximum volume setting is +31.5dB, while lower volume settings progress into the negative range with the minimum being -96.0dB. Input Selection Scroll through the available inputs using the ∧/∨ buttons on the front panel (or using the remote control). Notes: The labels for the inputs, as displayed on the front panel, can be customised for your conven- ience (see Labels, page 18). Disabling an input (see Enable, page 19) removes it from selection by scrolling from the front panel or remote control (although it is still available for selection via the menu system and the remote control s-keys). Mute Mute the volume by pressing the MUTE button on the front panel (or using the remote control). The mute mode is indicated by the volume level being replaced with MUTED in the display, which flashes while mute mode is enabled. If you increase the volume while mute is enabled, the mute mode will be cancelled and the volume will increase from the muted level. This is a safety measure to avoid situations where the volume might be increased while muted, only to have the system un-muted to an unexpectedly high volume. When mute is cancelled, the volume level replaces MUTED in the display and stops flashing. Notes: If the mute level is set to a customised setting (see Mute Level, page 21) the volume level will be attenuated by this amount when mute is enabled. The attenuated mode is indicated by the volume level changing to the reduced level in the display, which flashes while attenuated.
  • Page 19: Entering And Navigating The Menus

    If you decrease the volume while attenuation is enabled, the volume level will reduce whilst remaining in the attenuated mode. When mute is cancelled, the volume level will increase by the set attenuation level.

  • Page 20: Main Menu

    The Menu System continued Main Menu The menu system is comprehensive and intuitive, and provides access to settings and features that allow you to customise how the éloquence 150i works within the context of your system. The main menu is the top-level of the menu system and consists of five sub-menus: Input Volume Clock Options System Input Configuration Each input on your éloquence 150i integrated amplifier can be customised in several ways to enhance either the performance or the ease of use of the system. Select The select menu allows you to choose a source input. An input will be available for selection even if it is disabled. Notes: The optional Phono and DAC modules must be installed for the phono and digital inputs to become available. The factory default input is BALANCED.
  • Page 21: Labels

    Labels The labels menu allows you to customise the input name as it appears on the display. Any name can be entered, up to a maximum of 11 characters (including spaces). To change the selected input name via the front panel: • Rotate the interface knob or press the </> buttons to scroll through the available characters. • Press the interface knob to add the selected character to the input label and advance the label cursor. • Press the DEL button to delete characters from the input label and move the label cursor back. • Press the SAVE button to store your customised input label. • Press BACK to cancel changes and return to the menu To change the selected input name via the remote control: • Press </> to scroll through the available characters. • Press ∧ to add the selected character to the input label and advance the label cursor. • Press ∨ to delete characters from the input label and move the label cursor back. • Press the OK button to store your customised input label. • Press MENU to cancel changes and return to the menu The factory default labels are as follows: Input Default Label Balanced BALANCED Input 1 INPUT 1 Input 2 INPUT 2 Input 3 INPUT 3 Input 4 HT LOOP Input 5 INPUT 5...
  • Page 22: Balance Trim

    The Menu System continued Note: The volume difference will not be visible on the volume display – so when switching between offset sources, the volume display will not reflect the offset. The factory default volume trim is ±00.0dB. Balance Trim The balance trim screen gives you control over the relative volumes of the left and right channels for each input. The volume of one channel relative to the other can be changed in increments of 0.5dB, up to a maximum of 20.0dB. This allows for compensation of any slight imbalance that may be present on a particular source component. For example, the finest handmade cartridges are subject to small channel imbalance problems. The factory default balance trim is 00.0dB. Enable The enable menu allows you to select which inputs are available when scrolling through the inputs via the front panel or the remote control. Note: If an input is disabled, you will still be able to select it via the input select menu, or the remote control s-keys. The factory default has all available inputs enabled. Status The status screen displays all the user customisable settings for a particular input. A factory default setting is not applicable to the status screen.
  • Page 23: Volume Configuration

    Volume Configuration The volume is not directly adjusted by the knob on the front panel, as per traditional potentiometer vol- ume controls; instead it is adjusted by software controlled volume circuitry. Since the volume control circuitry is under software control, it is possible to customise its behaviour in a number of ways. Initial Volume The initial volume screen allows you to set the volume level that the amplifier will be set to when it is powered up. Note: The volume level will change to reflect the current initial volume setting and will change as you alter the initial volume setting, giving you an indication of what the volume level is. The factory default initial volume is -40.0dB. Maximum Volume The maximum volume screen allows you to establish a maximum level to which the volume can be set. It is particularly useful if the system is sometimes used by people who may not be as careful as you would be – teenaged children come to mind. The factory default maximum volume is +00.0dB. Balance The balance screen gives you fine control over the relative volumes of the Left and Right channels. The volume of one channel relative to the other can be changed in increments of 0.5dB, up to 40.0dB – beyond this; the output of the reduced channel will be muted entirely. The factory default balance is 00.0dB. Ramp The volume ramp menu allows you to select the rates at which the volume will ramp up or down when changing between inputs and when muting. Selecting OFF results in no ramping of volume when changing between inputs and a direct change in volume to the muted level. Selecting FAST, MEDIUM or SLOW will result in a corresponding volume ramp rate. The factory default volume ramp is MEDIUM.
  • Page 24: Mute Level

    The Menu System continued Mute Level The mute level menu allows you to select the level of attenuation the mute level employs when it is engaged. Selecting MUTED will attenuate the output entirely, whilst -10.0dB, -20.0dB, -30.0dB and -40.0dB will attenuate the output by the respective level. The factory default mute level is -40.0dB. Bypass The bypass menu allows you to select if the volume control is bypassed for any of the analogue inputs. When a bypassed input is selected, it becomes a unity gain (00.0dB) input and the volume control of the éloquence 150i is disabled. This is useful in situations where the éloquence 150i is being used to pass through a signal from a component with its own volume control, for example a surround processor or receiver. Care should be taken to adjust the volume control of the other component before selecting a bypassed input, as the resulting volume level may be uncomfortably loud. Note: INPUT 4 has the volume bypassed straight from the factory, and by default is set to be used as a home theatre loop (HT LOOP). Clock Configuration Adjust The adjust screen allows you to set the time. Format The format menu allows you to select between normal and 24-hour time format. The factory default format is 12 H:MM Location The location menu allows you to select where the clock is displayed. HOME shows the clock on the home screen only, STANDBY shows the clock only while the amplifier is in standby, BOTH shows the clock on the home screen and in standby, while DISABLED hides the clock from being displayed altogether. The factory default location setting is DISABLED.
  • Page 25: Options

    Options Display The display menu allows you to configure various attributes of the LCD screen and display layout. Brightness The brightness screen allows you to adjust the brightness of the display, or turn off the backlight altogether. The available settings range from 0, backlight off, to a maximum of 10. The factory default brightness setting is 5. Contrast The contrast screen allows you to adjust the contrast of the display. The available settings range from 0, minimum contrast, to a maximum of 10. The factory default contrast setting is 5. Timeout The timeout menu allows you to select a time after which the display will turn off. Note: If the display timeout is enabled, the display will turn on when user input is detected then automatically turn off after the timeout duration has elapsed. The factory default timeout setting is DISABLED. Volume Bar The volume bar menu allows you to select if the volume bar is displayed on the home screen. The factory default volume bar setting is SHOW. Separate The separate menu allows you to break the connection between the preamplifier and power amplifier sections of your integrated amplifier, letting you use the preamplifier and power amplifier sections independently of each other. This is particularly useful for inserting components between the pre and power sections, for example room correction, graphic equaliser or active filter. The factory default separate setting is DISABLED.
  • Page 26: S-Keys

The factory default s-key settings are as follows: S-Key Default Input BALANCED INPUT 1 INPUT 2 INPUT 3 HT LOOP INPUT 5 System Unit Info The unit info screen displays information relating to your amplifier – software version, serial number, etc. Preset The preset menu allows you to save and restore user settings for your éloquence 150i integrated amplifier. Defaults The defaults menu allows you to reset the system configuration to the factory default settings. Note: Resetting the factory default settings causes any customisation of the amplifiers configuration to be lost – including input labels, gain settings, volume trims, etc. Although, customised user settings may be recalled from the preset menu if they were saved.
