OF
THE
EVOLUTION

(OPTIONAL)
Asystem
remote
control
is
available with which you can
operate
all
the
functions of
your
integrated ampli-
fier from
the
comfort
of
your
place
of
listening.
The
desired functions can be activated
by
pressing
the
rele-
vant
button
on
the
remote
control
transmitter
(see
the
remote
control
diagram above).
Some
buttons
have adual role
to
permit
comfortable
operation.
The
"ON"
button
permits
the
switch bet-
ween "Standby" and "On".Alternativeiy, with
the
unit already operational, it allows you
to
switch
between,
or
leave,
the
next
menu
leveL
The
"VOLUME
-"
and
the
"VOLUME +"
buttons
can be used
to
move
the
cur-
sor
arrow
in
the
sub menus.They can also be used
to
set
the
balance (sub menu "bal") and input sensitivity
(submenu
"set").
Always point
the
remote
control
transmitter
at
the
display (6)
of
the

the
integrated amplifier temporarily, for example
to
make atele-
phone
calL
"Standby" condition
is
no replacement for switching off
the
unit.
In
stand
by
mode
the
end stages
are
switched off.
However
the
electronic circuitry
that
controls
the
amplifier remains
in
operation.
In
this
condition
the
unit consumes
about
4
Watt
from
the
main supply.This
does
not
damage
the
components
in
any way but
is
not
environmentally friendly because of
the
unnecessary energy consumption.
CARE
OF
THE
CASING
The
surface and
text
of
the
casing
are
mainly scratch resistant.
To
clean use amild soap solution
or
general
spirit based glass cleaner (use sparingiy) with asoft lint free cloth.

should be taken during cleaning
to
ensure
that
no liquids can ingress into
the
casing. For safety reasons
it
is
advised
to
remove
the
power
cable from
the
mains supply before cleaning
the
casing with adamp cloth.
Do
not
use solvents
or
abrasives for cleaning.This could damage
the
surface
or
text.
