OPERATION
Note: Put the Mimas into Standby before turning off the rear panel AC Power Switch.
It is normal that a slight pop may be heard when going into or coming out of Standby. This is due to the amplifier
switching from high bias to low bias.
Important Note: In order to extend the life of the tubes, do not have a source playing into the Mimas
while it is in STANDBY. Mute the source first.
Main Menu
When the Mimas comes out of standby, it will be muted and the Main Menu will be displayed. The Main Menu
consists of the currently selected input and the master volume level. If the currently selected input is in Bypass
mode, BP will be displayed instead of the volume level.
Pressing the left or right side of the Display lens (UP/DOWN on the remote) will raise or lower the volume when
not in Bypass.
Input Select
Repeatedly pressing the front panel or remote INPUT button advances the currently selected input to the next.
The factory default Line input names are INPx, where x is 1 through 5 – corresponding to the rear panel input
jack labeling. The factory default phono input names are P1 and P2.
Display
When the DISPLAY button is pressed, all LEDs will extinguish. Pressing any button will turn on the display and
applicable indicator LEDs. If the button pressed was INPUT or MUTE, the display and LEDs will extinguish again
after 5 seconds. If the STANDBY button was pressed, the unit will immediately enter the Standby mode. In
Standby, the Standby LED is always illuminated, regardless of whether the display was on or off. Pressing the
DISPLAY button while the display is off, or during the 5 second timeout period, will turn on the display and
normal operation will return.
Note: The LED for the DISPLAY button is intentionally inactive unless in a Setup menu, where it may be used to
select a submenu.
Mute
Pressing the MUTE button will alternately mute or un-mute the unit. When the Mute LED is illuminated, there will
be no audio at the speaker outputs. The Mute feature is available in most Setup menus.
Volume
The volume can be raised or lowered by pressing the left or right side of the front panel display, or the UP and
DOWN buttons on the remote.
