Connecting
The first stage in setting up your AKURATE KONTROL is to connect
your sources, power amplifier(s) and other peripheral devices to the
AKURATE KONTROL.
1. Ensure your AKURATE KONTROL and all components that you
will be connecting to it are disconnected from the mains power
supply.
2. Connect your source components, power amplifier(s) and any
communication/control devices you wish to use, referring to the
back panel diagram on page 3.
3. Connect the AKURATE KONTROL to the mains power supply
and turn the unit on using the switch on the back panel. For the
next 10 seconds or so the AKURATE KONTROL will configure
itself. During this time three dots will be shown on the display.
4. Wait until the three dots are replaced by the symbol, then
press the key on the front panel or handset.
The main stage in setup is configuring the AKURATE KONTROL to
suit your requirements. This is achieved using the setup menus. How
to configure the AKURATE KONTROL is explained in the rest of this
chapter.
