Con guring your C31 pre-ampli er
Introduction
The C31 allows you to customise various features of the ampli er to t your system. Use this diagram
to help you navigate through the available con guration options.
In the diagram below, the ENTER and SELECT buttons from the front panel are represented by the
symbols and respectively.
The control knob is shown as .
Adjusting listening settings
Normally, the display shows the current volume and the control knob is used
to adjust this.
Press SELECT once to enter the con guration menu, then press it repeatedly
to cycle through the menu items. When you have found the setting that you
wish to adjust (the setting is shown on the display), it can be adjusted by
using the control knob. Press ENTER to store the change you have made and
return to default (volume) mode, or press SELECT again to move to the next
setting.
Note that the menu will time-out after a short period of inactivity, with the
display reverting to the current volume.
The following items are available for adjustment:
Volume Resolution – There are three volume-display options to chose from:
‘Standard’, ‘Fine’ or ‘Reference’. Standard and Fine represent different
levels of volume-control sensitivity; the Reference setting gives absolute
increments in 0.5dB steps.
Input Trims – Input trims are used to compensate for variations in
output levels of different source equipment. If, for example, your CD
player is louder at a given volume display value than other inputs, you
can attenuate it by using this setting so that it matches your other
components.
Use the source-select buttons to select the input you wish to adjust, then
the control knob to set (increase or decrease) the input volume for that
source.
Max. ‘On’ Volume – This can be used to limit the maximum volume the
ampli er operates at when it is rst switched on: the C31 comes on at
the (reduced) “Max. On Volume” level if the last-used volume exceeds
this value.
If this item is set to ‘Disabled’, the C31 always comes on at the last used
volume, even if this is very loud.
Processor Mode – Processor mode enables you to x the gain (volume
setting) of your C31. The C31 (in combination with a power amp.) can
then be used to drive the front left and right speakers of a surround-
sound system, when fed from a separate processor. The volume of the
entire system can then be controlled using the processor.
Feed the sound from the processor into the TAPE input, then set the gain
of the C31 to match the ampli ers that drive your other loudspeakers.
Reset – this restores all ampli er settings to their factory defaults.
