Front Panel Controls - moon 350P Owner's Manual

Front Panel Controls

The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The large display window indicates the selected input source.
If your Nēo 350P includes the digital input option, additional information will appear in the display window. Refer
to the section entitled "Optional Digital Inputs" on page 9 for further details..
The "Standby" button disengages the input section
from the rest of the 350P'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, the blue LED directly
above the display window will illuminate, As well, the
current 'input' will be memorized from the previous
listening session. The blue indicator LED turns off when
the 350P is in "Standby" mode.
The "MP" button (for Media Player) has its input
connection located next to the headphone jack for easy
access. It uses a 1/8" mini-jack connector which is the
most common type of connection found on portable
media players. When selected, the corresponding red
LED, located to the left of the button, will illuminate.
When the "MP" input is in use the display window
automatically turns off. The "Display" button allows you
to turn the digital display on and off.
The two (2) buttons labeled ◄ INPUT ► allow you to
sequentially scroll, either forward (►) or backward (◄)
through all of the available inputs. Depending on the
installed options, the order of the inputs is as follows
going forward (►): Basic Unit: "CD", "A1", "A2", "A3", "B1"
and "B2"; All options installed:"CD", "A1", "A2", "PH",
"B1", "B2", "D1", "D2", "D3" and "D4"
The above abbreviations correspond to the labeling of
the rear panel inputs. By default the "CD" input is
intended for use with a CD Player, however you can

connect another type of source component to it. "A1",
"A2", "A3", "B1" and "B2" are intended for use with any
type of source component that outputs an analog
signal: "CD", "A1", "A2" and "A3" for single-ended
sources using RCA connectors; "B1" and "B2" for
balanced sources using XLR connectors. If you have
installed the optional phono section, the "A3" input is
replaced by "PH". If you have installed the digital input
option, "D1", "D2", "D3" and "D4" will appear after "B2".
The optional inputs only appear if they are installed.
The "Monitor" button provides for a dedicated loop to
be used with either a component that can record &
playback (Cassette Deck, DAT, CD-Recorder, etc.) or a
signal processor such as an equalizer. Pressing this
button allows you to 1) monitor the recording as it
occurs on the recording device or 2) engage the effects
of the signal processor. The monitor component's
outputs must be connected to the 350 P's "Monitor In"
and its inputs must be connected to the 350P's
"Monitor Out". The monitor output level is fixed and
independent of the 350P's volume setting. The LED to
the left of the display window will illuminate when the
"Monitor" function is engaged.
The "Mute" button mutes the output signal to the
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
