Simlink; Operating The 850P - moon 850P Owner's Manual

SimLink™

The SimLink™ provides
between various MOON components. For example, if
you were to connect the 750D DAC/CD Transport to the
850P Preamplifier via the SimLink™, pressing the
(play) button on the 750D would cause the preamplifier
automatically switch to it's designated input for the CD
Player. You must assign the input with the name
"750D" for this feature to work. If you were to adjust
the brightness level of the large digital display window
using the "Display" button on the 850P, the brightness
level of the 750D's display will automatically adjust to
the same brightness level as that of the 850P.
Conversely, since the SimLink™ is a true bi-directional
connection, adjusting the 750D's brightness level will
automatically adjust the brightness level of the 850P.
A third feature of SimLink™ involves the "Standby"
function. By pressing down and holding the "Standby"
button for 2 seconds on the 850P, all other MOON
components connected via the SimLink will go into
"Standby" mode along with the 850P. 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.

Operating the 850P

We recommend that you leave your MOON 850P 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 850P will require
several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak
performance after you've powered it up again.

Prior to turning the preamplifier on for the first time,
make sure that every cable is properly connected to
avoid any problems.
located on the rear panel of the controller, labeled
"POWER" to the '1' (on) position to place your 850P in to
standby mode. Next, briefly press the push button
labeled "Standby" located on the front panel. You will
hear a very faint click sound confirming that everything
is in order. The blue LED's on both front panels will
illuminate, indicating that the 850P is now powered up
and ready for use.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. "thumps" and
"pops") emanate from your speakers when powering
your 850P on or off, you should always power up your
850P preamplifier before powering up your amplifier.
As well, always power down your 850P after powering
down your amplifier.
