RESET
Use this function to reset all preamplifier settings to their default factory
setting. Resetting the unit is done by holding in the "RESET" button until
"rE'is displayed in the center display. Since some of the preamplifier
functions are only accessed by the remote control, the reset button is
provided to get back to a "normal operating mode if the remote control is
not available.
UOTUTE
The stargate knob surrounding the number display adjusts the output
level of the preamplifier in precise 1 dB steps across a range of t 00 dB.
This control rotates continually - it is not limited to the 280 degree
rotation of conventional rotary controls. The digital readout shows the
output level in I dB increments between the numbers "00" and "99"
The volume control is not a conventional potentiometer - it is an optical
device that controls a microprocessor. Unlike conventional stepped
resistor ladder attenuators, this microprocessor has no transient clicks or
pops as you change the volume. Like a resistor ladder, the level of each
channel is closely matched so the left/right balance will remain constant
as you adjust the level up and down. The tolerance is within 0.1%, which
is vastly better than even the best conventional, dual stereo
potentiometers.
BAIA]IGE
Use the mode button and the stargate volume knob to control the
left/right balance. Pressing the mode button will toggle between "Main",
"Right", and "Left." In the window next to the number display are two
indicator diodes identifying the right (red) and left (green) modes. In the
"Right" and "Left" modes the stargate functions to control the right or left
