Input Name
The factory default names for Line inputs are INP1 through INP5, and TT 1, TT2 for the Phono inputs, when
installed.
Each input can be named using up to four characters. The available characters are A-Z; [blank]; 0-9 and several
special characters.
To name an Input, from the Main menu press the SETUP button. Press the left or right side of the Display to
select SET1, or the desired Input to name. Press the INPUT button four times so that the display reads the
current name. Press the DISPLAY button once. Use the left or right side of the Display (or Up/Down button on
the remote) to select the desired character. Press the DISPLAY button to move to the next character, which
identified with a dot to the right of it. Press the SETUP button to exit and return to the Main menu.
Bypass (Advanced)
In the Home Theater Bypass mode, the bypass routing of the incoming signal can be set in one of two ways:
Software (S/W) or Hardware (H/W). S/W routes the signal through all internal circuitry in the standard way, but at
a fixed volume level. This fixed level is user adjustable. When H/W is selected, the signal is routed from the input
jacks, directly to the power amp section, thereby bypassing all preamp paths, including the offset and vacuum
tubes.
Note: The Input must be set to BYP (see the Home Theater Bypass section on previous page) for these
parameters to have an effect.
To set this up from the Main menu, press the SETUP button once, then press the left or right side of the Display
(UP/DOWN buttons on the remote) to select SETx, where x is the desired bypassed input. Press the INPUT
button five times so that the display reads ADV. The Display LED is illuminated, indicating that it is to be used to
select the Bypass mode. Press the Display button, then use the left/right side of the display (UP/DOWN buttons
on the remote) to select H/W or S/W.
If the Bypass mode is set to S/W, the user can then press the INPUT button to access the software bypass fixed
level. The default level is 80. Press the left/right side of the display (UP/DOWN buttons on the remote) to edit the
volume level that will be used when this software bypassed Input is selected.
Note: If H/W is selected and the INPUT button is pressed, the user will be returned to the ADV. Sub menu. Press
the SETUP button to return to the Main Menu.

Internal Gain Setting
There are gain shunts (2 per channel) that allow the internal gain to be set at 0 or –15dB. Changes to these
settings must be completed by an authorized service technician, and the unit must have its AC cord removed for
at least 15 minutes prior to removing the top cover. Contact your dealer if these settings need to be adjusted.
The shunt positions are detailed in Appendix A.
Caution: to reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove any of the cover panels.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel
only.
RS232
All functions of the Mimas can be controlled and monitored via RS232, using the DB9 connector. As long as the
rear panel power switch in turned on, the RS232 circuitry is always active, thus allowing the Mimas to be taken
out of STANDBY via RS232. Refer to Appendix D for more information on using RS232.
