signal is muted, the red LED to the right will repeatedly
flash on and off.
The "A2" input can be configured as a 'pass-through'
which bypasses the 350P's gain control section,
allowing you to control the gain setting via the
connected source component's own volume control – a
home theater processor for example; In other words,
this input operates like the input of a power amplifier. In
'pass-through' mode, adjusting the volume on the
350P will have no effect whatsoever when the "A2"
input is selected. To put the "A2" input into 'pass-
through' mode, press and hold down the "Monitor"
button for approximately 2 seconds while on the "A2"
input. The front panel display will change from "A2" to
"HT". To reconfigure the "A2" input to function like the
other inputs, repeat the this procedure. Powering down
the 350P via the rear panel rocker switch will
automatically reset the the "A2" to the factory default
'normal' mode.
The rotary "Volume" control determines the output
level. The volume control has an embedded red LED to
indicate its actual position.
The "Phones" jack is used for connecting a pair of stereo
headphones to the Nēo 350P. The input connector is a
standard ¼" stereo jack. When a pair of headphones are
used with the 350P, the output signal will continue to
be sent to the amplifier(s) connected to the 350P.

Optional Digital Inputs

The Digital Input option includes four (4) separate
inputs: "D1" uses an optical Toslink connector, "D2" and
"D3" use S/PDIF on an female RCA connector and "D4"
uses a type-B USB connector. The "D1" is intended for
use with a source equipped with a TosLink digital
output such as a satellite dish receiver; The "D2" and
"D3" inputs are intended for use with a source equipped
with a S/PDIF digital output such as a DVD player, music
server or disc transport. The "D4" input is for use with a
computer equipped with a USB connector and music
player software such as iTunes or Winamp; you cannot
connect a USB flash drive or external hard drive to the
"D4" input.
When you select one of the digital inputs as described
in the aforementioned section, the display window will
show which of the four digital inputs is selected. At the
same time, the right side of the display window will
initially show four dashes as follows "----" which indicate
that the 350P is in the process of locking onto the
external digital signal – this may take several seconds.
When the 350P successfully locks onto the digital
signal, the four dashes will be replaced by the sampling
rate of this digital signal. When the signal cannot be
locked onto, "----" remains in the display window. The
optional digital-to-analog circuit option inside the Nēo
350P is capable of processing the following sampling
rates: 32.0kHz, 44.1kHz, 48.0 kHz, 88.2kHz, 96 kHz,
176.4kHz and 192kHz.
