Front Panel Controls - moon 250i Neo Series Owner's Manual

Front Panel Controls

The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The remote control sensor is located directly to the right of the
"Phones" output jack and it should never be blocked, otherwise remote control operation may be compromised.
The "Standby" button disengages the input section
from the rest of the Nēo 250i'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, both the 'input'
and volume level settings will be memorized from the
previous listening session. The blue indicator LED turns
off when the 250i is in "Standby" mode.
The Nēo 250i integrated amplifier has six (6) inputs
labeled CD, Video, DVD, Aux, Tuner, and MP. Each of
the first five (5) inputs has a corresponding pair of input
connections located on the unit's rear panel (refer to
the section entitled "Rear Panel Connections" for futher
details). The sixth input, labelled "MP" (Media Player)
has its corresponding input connection located on the
right side of the front panel for easy access. The "MP"
input uses a 1/8" mini-jack connector which is the most
common type of connection found on portable media
players. Select any one of these six (6) inputs by simply
pressing the associated button. When selected, the
corresponding red indicator LED, located directly beside
the button will illuminate.
The "Spk off" button turns off the output signal only to
the loudspeakers connected to the Nēo 250i. 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.
The "Phones" jack is used for connecting a pair of stereo
headphones to the Nēo 250i. The input connector is a
standard ¼" stereo TRS jack.
headphones are used with the 250i, the loudspeakers
will still receive an output signal. However, you should
use the "Spk off" button for private listening.
The rotary "Volume" control determines the output
level and has an embedded red LED to indicate its
actual position.
