Remote Control
1 MONO
Pressing this button will toggle the Nº38 in and out of the Mono
mode, having the same effect as pressing the front panel mono
button. Mono mode activates circuitry which combines Left and
Right input signals, and sends the resulting monophonic signal to
both
Left and Right outputs. This circuit is particularly useful when
listening to older, monophonic source material, at which time
significant noise reduction may be realized.
2 DISPLAY
Duplicates the function of the Display Intensity button on the front
panel, cycling among four levels of brightness (including off) for
the display, allowing adjustment for various ambient lighting
conditions.
(Tip: If pressed and held for several seconds, the Display
button will place your Nº38 in Standby.)
3 SOURCE SELECTION
These buttons provide remote selection of the six inputs of the
Nº38. Pressing any of these buttons (or the Volume +/- buttons)
while the Nº38 is in Standby will bring it fully on and operational.
These buttons are gray instead of black to serve as a reminder of
this secondary function.
4 VOLUME +/-
Raises the volume at either low speed for fine adjustments or high
speeds for larger changes. The Nº38 will slowly raise its output for
the first 1.5 seconds this button is depressed, then move to higher
rates of change.
Pressing either Volume +/- button while the Nº38 is in Standby will
bring it fully on and operational. These buttons are gray instead of
black to serve as a reminder of this secondary function.
Note that all volume and balance functions are disabled if a
surround sound processor [ssp] input is selected. For more
information on this special feature of the Nº38s design, see Using
Surround Sound Processors.
5 POLARITY
Inverts the polarity (sometimes inaccurately called absolute
phase) of the outputs of the Nº38. A second press of this button
will restore the outputs to their original, non-inverting polarity.
6 MODE
Duplicates the function of the Mode button on the front panel,
cycling through Monitor, Record Select, and Balance modes. As
with the front panel button, use it in conjunction with the Source
Selection buttons when in either Monitor or Record Select mode
and with the Volume +/- buttons when in Balance mode.
7 MUTE
Toggles between normal output level and the user-programmable
Mute function, reducing the level by 1 to 60 decibels (depending
on the users programming). The factory default setting gives a 20
decibel reduction in output.
