UNIT OPERATION
The following pages outline the normal day-to-day operation of your preamplifier from the supplied SR10.1
remote control. All unit functions can also be directly controlled from the front panel. The SR10.1 remote is
capable of controlling both the B& K preamplifier plus other source gear in your system. This section will
outline the usage of the SR10.1 Remote with your B& K processor. For a brief overview of the SR10.1
programming software, refer to page 51. The full programming manual is available on our website. All
programming software and product manuals are available online at www
.bkcomp.com.
Master Power On/Off
The master power switch located on the front panel of your preamplifier must be “ON” (pressed in) for the
preamplifier to operate. When this switch is OFF (pressed out) all power is shut off. This will prevent turning it
back on with the remote control or keypad. For normal day to day operation, leave the master power switch in
the ON position. Use the ON/STANDBY function for daily power on and off. This will allow the preamplifier to
be turned on and off from the remote control or keypad.
Whenever turning on the master power switch, you must wait approximately 15 seconds while the processor
restores its internal memory and initializes system parameters. You may want to turn off the master power
switch only when your preamplifier will be idle for extended periods of time or during periods of power line
fluctuations. The memory will not be lost while the master power switch is off.
On / Standby
For normal day to day operation, you will put your preamplifier in STANDBY or by using the ON and OFF
buttons of the remote control. Standby mode keeps minimal functions running in order to allow the remote
control or keypad to quickly power the unit up. Note that the front panel ON/STANDBY button is lit while your
preamplifier is in standby and is not lit when your preamplifier is operating. The front panel display is off
during standby. The remote control or keypad has discrete power OFF and ON IR commands to put the
preamplifier in and out of standby mode. The power on titles will display every time the unit is brought out of
standby mode.
Adjusting Volume
The front panel VOLUME control knob will control the volume. The volume knob is on the right side of the
front panel. Volume can also be adjusted up or down using the remote control or a keypad. Volume ranges
from -96dB to +15dB. 0dB is Dolby Reference level.
Center, Rear and Subwoofer Volume
The center channel, rear channels (surrounds and backs together) and/or the subwoofer volume levels can
be tweaked independently. To adjust the volume for these channels, use the CNTR-/+, REAR-/+ or SUB-/+
from the remote control to adjust. These are temporary level adjustments and will reset to zero after an input
change or standby on/off.
Source Selection
The front panel is equipped with a Source knob that allows you to rotate it to select any of the 7 inputs or the
internal AM and FM tuner. The source knob is on the left hand side of the front panel. From the remote, press
the button corresponding to the input you wish to select.
When using DVD-Audio, it is recommended to set DVD-Audio as the default audio mode for that particular
input. If DVD-audio is not set as the default mode, first select the input to which DVD-Audio has been
assigned, then press the DVD-A button from the remote control.
