Notes: •Many device manufacturers have developed their own protocols for controlling their devices based on the CEC standard�
This can mean that the functions described above only function partially or does not function at all�
•In order to avoid conflicts when controlling the Smart Amp 5�1, the “Volume +/–“, “Mute” and “Power” buttons on the TV remote control
should not be learned through the IR learn function of the amplifier when using the CEC function� Delete the codes if necessary�
Standby Mode [STB]
This function controls, how the Amp 5�1 powers up resp� down – manually or automatically, partly dependent on an incoming audio signal� The Amp
5�1 supports the following functions:
• ECO [ECO]: If ECO is selected, the Amp 5�1 enters standby mode after 20 minutes without any detected audio signal at the selected input and
needs to be powered up manually using the remote control�
• Network [NSB]: If Network [NSB] is selected, the Amp 5�1 must be turned on manually and will automatically enter standby after 20 minutes
without detected audio at the selected input� However, there is a difference to the ECO mode, as described below� Network [NSB] is the
default setting of the Amp 5�1�
• Auto [AUT]: If Auto is selected, the Amp 5�1 turns on automatically if an audio signal is detected at the input recently used� If no signal is
detected any longer, the Amp 5�1 enters standby mode after 1 minute (at the digital inputs Optical, Coaxial and Bluetooth) resp� 15 minutes
(at the analog input Line [AUX])�
• Manuell [MAN]: If Manual is selected, the Amp 5�1 stays active permanently and must be powered up and down manually, using the
remote control�
If ECO is selected, all wirelessly connected speakers will be powered down automatically, but each speaker must be powered up individually� This is
the operation mode with the lowest standby power consumption� All the other modes Network, Auto, and Manual provide an automatic power up
function for all wirelessly connected speakers when powering up the Smart Amp 5�1 (Master Device)�
Notes: •If the standby mode is set to Auto [AUT] and the Amp 5�1 is set to standby mode using the “ON/Standby” key of the remote control, it is
not possible for the Amp 5�1 to switch on automatically� To use the Auto mode of the Amp 5�1 as intended, do not power down the Amp 5�1
using the On/Standby key but always wait until the Amp 5�1 powers down, automatically�
•To avoid an unintentional power-up of the Amp 5�1 using the analogue input, the threshold value has been set quite high� To make sure the
Amp 5�1 powers up correctly, please set the output level of your analog audio source to a high level (but not more than 2Vrms)�

Input Config [INP]
As the factory settings all physically available inputs are already assigned with a source name� Therefore, the LED display and the screen do not
show the name of the (physical) input, but the source name of a (possible) source device� You can change the name assigned to an input to suit your
source device in the menu Input Config [INP]� It is also possible to deactivate (- – -) physical inputs so that they are no longer displayed, which will
make the source selection faster�
The factory settings are as follows:
Physical Input OSD Display Source Name
HDMI® Input 1 HDMI1 [HD1] BDP (Blu-Ray Player)
HDMI® Input 2 HDMI2 [HD2] SAT (Satelite Receiver)
HDMI® Input 3 HDMI3 [HD3] PS (Video Console)

•Inputs which have been deactivated (“- – -”) are no longer displayed when selecting the inputs�This simplifies the selection of the
desired input�
•The name for the input BT (Bluetooth®) and NET (Network) cannot be changed�
Analog Gain [OFS]
With this function you can adjust the signal gain of the analogue Line input [AUX] relating to that of the digital source(s) in a range from -6dB to
