925's complex and rather unique features. Should any part of this manual or the operation of the 925 not be clear to you, please do not hesitate to contact your Trilogy dealer. If they are not available please contact ourselves directly.
The AC inlet cable provided should be used. The 925 must be earthed. Do not disconnect the AC earth at any time. If in doubt about any aspect of power supply, consult your Trilogy dealer or a qualified electrician.
The 925 allows separate selection of the source to be amplified, and the line level source for output SEND to a recorder, AV or multi- room system. Input 6 should be used for any return signal from the recorder etc. To prevent howl round, this 6/RTN cannot be selected as the SEND output.

Overview The Trilogy 925 offers a nested menu structure to access the variety of options. This is intuitive, using a combination of [enter] / [escape] buttons and the rotary [shaft encoder]. By default, the amplifier displays what we call the ‘Home Page’, which is selectable as a blank screen, Trilogy logo, time, input or volume.

If you have enabled menu lock in the defaults (disabled by default), on turning the [shaft encoder] you will be prompted to enter the four digit menu PIN code provided with your 925. This is a different number to the six digit PIN entered when power is applied.

Nominally unity gain for surround systems where an input has a fixed volume level and all adjustments are made on the surround processor. The audio performance of the Trilogy 908 pre-amp benefits from the lack of closed loop control of the pre-amp gain, hence the gain will vary depending on the valves.

More / Defaults / Output The default output is selected when power is applied to the 925. The amplifier does not have to be turned on. This operation is quite deliberate. Whether the amplifier is on or off, it was felt important to maintain the currently selected record source so a recording can continue.

More / Defaults / Warm Mode By default, warm mode is off. When enabled, a short press of the power button turns the 925 on, a short-press when on puts it into warm mode, a long press when on or warm will turn the equipment off. For the 925 alone, warm mode simply mutes the amplifier and is not of great benefit.

LEDS mostly off with a short flash on. This indicates the unit's button is temporarily not used for on/off and can be used to ‘grab’ an ID number from the 925. If you need to switch off the remote devices during this time, for example due to excessive audio levels, use the 925 power button to switch off both the 925 amplifier and connected devices.

Bus remote on This is a 10 Volt remote control signal for Trilogy equipment to power up, by starting their turn on procedure. Usually output by the Amplifier and optically isolated in power amps, the Amplifier can be set to receive this signal instead so a different system can deliver the main power-on signal.
Local LSD LED F Bus LSD Diagnostics using these LEDs are possible, as part of Trilogy dealer training. You may be asked to look at these LEDs as part of any telephone support. Front Panel Warning LEDs Dots to the right of the front panel display are used to indicate problems. The centre right LED will flash if TAS link attached equipment capable of error reporting has a problem.
