Front Panel Controls

The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The "Standby" button toggles the Nēo 230HAD between
standby mode and operational mode. When switching back from "Standby" to the "on" mode, the selected 'input'
will be memorized from the previous listening session. The blue indicator LED turns off when the 230HAD is in
"Standby" mode.
There are two columns of LED indicators. The first
column identifies the selected input; The second
column indicates the sample rate of the selected digital
input once the Nēo 230HAD has successfully locked
onto the digital signal. Refer to the following page for
further details.
The "MP" input uses a 1/8" mini-jack connector which is
the most common type of connection found on
portable media players. This is an analog only input .
The "Phones" jack is used for connecting a pair of stereo
headphones to the 230HAD. The input connector uses
a standard single-ended ¼" TRS jack. When a pair of
headphones are used with the Nēo 230HAD, the
output signal will continue to be sent to both the fixed
and variable output connectors located on the rear
panel.
The "Input" button allows you to sequentially scroll,
forward through all six (6) available inputs.: "MP", "A1",
"D1","D2","D3" and
correspond to the labeling of the inputs as follows. "MP"
