MOON 740P Dual-Mono Preamplifier
SimLink™
The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect
the 650D to the 740P Preamplifier via the SimLink™, pressing the
automatically switch to it's designated input for the CD Player.
this feature to work
. If you were to adjust the brightness level of the large digital display window using the "Display"
button on the 740P, the brightness level of the 650D's display will automatically adjust to the same brightness level as that
of the 740P. Since the SimLink™ is a true bi-directional connection, adjusting the 650D's brightness level will automatically
adjust the brightness level of the 740P.
A third feature of SimLink™ involves the "Standby" function. By pressing down and holding the "Standby" button for 2
seconds on the 740P, all other MOON components connected via the SimLink will go into "Standby" mode along with the
740P. The same logic applies when switching from "Standby" to active mode.
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very basic. You must always connect the supplied cable between one component's
"SimLink™ Out" jack and another component's "SimLink™ In" jack. If you inadvertently connect the cable between either two
"SimLink™ In" or two "SimLink™ Out" jacks, the SimLink™ communication feature will not function. Also, there is no master
component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular component operates as the main communications controller.
Operating the 740P
We recommend that you leave your MOON 740P dual-mono preamplifier powered up at all times to maintain optimal
performance. In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the preamplifier may not
be a bad idea. Once fully "broken-in", please keep in mind that your 740P will require several hours of playing time before it
reaches its peak performance after you've powered it up again.
Turning on your MOON 740P for the first time
Prior to turning this preamplifier on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any problems.
Then turn on your preamplifier in the following manner:
1)
Flick the main rocker switch labeled "POWER" to the '1' (on) position on the rear panel.
2)
Press the push button labeled "Standby" on the 740P, the blue LED on the front panel will confirm operation
and the digital display will illuminate. You are now ready to begin listening to music.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. "thumps" and "pops") emanate from your speakers when powering your 740P on or
off, you should
1)
Always power up your 740P preamplifier before powering up your amplifier.
2)
Always power down your 740P after powering down your amplifier.
