Owner's Manual
Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC
receptacle, located on the amplifier's rear panel. Ensure
that the AC wall outlet you use has a functioning
ground. For the best sonic performance, it is preferable
that you plug your 340i directly into a dedicated AC
outlet and avoid using an extension cord. If you have
the time and willingness, consider installing a superior
quality AC wall outlet such as a hospital grade Hubbell*.
* Please speak with your MOON Authorized Retailer
about the benefits of high quality cables for your
system, and superior quality AC wall outlet.
SimLink™
The
SimLink™
provides
between various MOON components. For example, if
you were to connect the 260D to the 340i via the
SimLink™, pressing the
cause the 340i to automatically switch to the input
labelled 'CD'.
A second feature of SimLink™ involves the "Standby"
function. By pressing down and holding the "Standby"
button for 2 seconds on the either the 260D or 340i,
both units will go into "Standby" mode. The same logic
applies when switching from "Standby" to active mode.
If you are using the "MiND" Music Streamer and an
external digital-to-analog converter (DAC), you must
make a SimLink™ connection between the "MiND"s
SimLink™ out and the 340i's SimLink™ in. The 'Aux'
input is the default input for the "MiND" Music
Streamer; When you press the
"MiND" App, the 340i will automatically switch to the
input labeled 'Aux'. You can change these default
settings for the "MiND" as follows: Select the input that
you want as the new default for "MiND", then press and
hold the "MP" button until the front panel display
begins to flash on and off.
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very basic.
You must always connect the supplied cable between
communication
features
(play) button on the 260D will
(play) button on the
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 may not function. Also, there is no master
component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular
component operates as the main communications
controller.
Operating the Nēo 340i
We recommend leaving your Nēo 340i powered up at
all times to maintain optimal performance. When you
plan on being away for a few days, it may not be a bad
idea to power off your amplifier. Please keep in mind
that once fully "broken-in", your 340i requires several
hours
of
operation
performance after powering it up again.
Turning on your Nēo 340i for the first time
Prior to turning the amplifier on for the first time, make
sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any
problems. Flick the main rocker switch, located on the
rear panel, labeled "POWER" to the '1' (on) position. The
blue LED on the front panel will blink for up to 10
seconds while it achieves standby mode. When it stops
blinking and is not illuminated, your 340i is in 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 on the front panel will illuminate,
indicating that the 340i 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 340i on or off, you should always power up any
source components prior to powering up your 340i. As
well, always power down your 340i prior to powering
down any source components.
