using the volume up/down buttons on
the remote to adjust the settings of
that particular selecton. After making
the appropriate change, pressing the
‘ENTER’ button will conrm the new

of the front panel display.
Both the ‘MENU’ and ‘ENTER’ buttons (found
on the front panel and remote), as well as
the volume knob (or the up/down volume
buttons on the remote) are used to make
changes to the menu settings. Note that
the ‘MENU’ button can also be used to
back out of a menu selection, returning to
the main settings options.
Auto Shutdown
The Reference 6 is equipped with an auto
shut o feature, designed to turn the
preamplier o after a period of time
during which it is not used. The auto shut
o feature senses any interaction with
the preamplier, such as button presses,
changing the volume, remote usage, etc.
To change/disengage the auto shutdown
feature, press the ‘MENU’ button
until the ‘AUTO SHUTDOWN’ screen
is displayed. Using the volume knob
on the front panel, or the volume up/
down buttons on the remote, you have
the option for ‘o’ (no auto shutdown)
or 1-8 hours. Once you have made a
selection, press ‘ENTER’ to conrm. The
display will show ‘OKAY’ before reverting
back to the normal operation screen.
Note
The auto shutdown feature is not in the
signal path of the preamplier and has no
deleterious sonic eect to music playback.
