Front panel controls

With the front panel buttons all functions of the Power Plant can be
operated. All information about the operating state of the Power Plant is
displayed by the LED lamps above the buttons.
In the following sections the functions of the front panel controls and
display LEDs are explained in detail.
(On / Off switch)
Pressing the   button briefly switches the device on and off. When the
 
unit is switched on the green indicator above the button glows.

Caution!
The mains button is not a mains isolation switch. Even when the green
LED is not glowing parts of the machine remain connected to the mains
power supply. If the unit is not to be used for a long period we recommend
that you isolate it from the mains by pulling out the mains plug at the wall
socket or by switching the device OFF using the rocker switch located on
the back panel.

The integrated amplifier can also be switched on using the source buttons. If the
source device you wish to use is connected to the integrated amplifier via an
E cable, selecting that source switches on the amplifier automatically.

The   control enables you to vary the level between left and right  
channels, e.g. to cope with asymmetric speaker locations.
To avoid any adverse effect on the sound, the balance range is limited to
+0,6 dB / -8,0 dB. It is never desirable to reduce the volume of one stereo
channel to zero.
• The level of amplification is the same on both channels when the control is at
the centre position.
• Rotating the control clockwise offsets the stereo centre to the right.
• Rotating the control anti-clockwise offsets the stereo centre to the left.
Volume control employing a high-quality, ultra low-tolerance quadruple ALPS-
potentiometer.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume. Turning the control anti-
clockwise decreases the volume.
Socket for stereo headphones with an impedance of at least 50 Ω.

Continuous listening to very loud programme material via earphones or
headphones can result in permanent hearing loss. You can prevent harm to
your own health by avoiding long periods of listening at high levels when using
headphones or earphones.
