OPERATION MANUAL 088 PREAMP
INPUT SELECTION
With the input selector (1) you select the input you want to listen to. The selected
input will be shown in the alphanumeric display (4).
The input selector also controls functions in the SETUP menus.
PHASE REVERSAL
In factory settings the preamp 088 passes incoming signals without phase reversal
to the MAIN and TAPE outputs. If the pin polarity of a reproducer differs from the
pin polarity of power amps or active speakers connected to the output terminals
(see also owner `s manual PINS 2 and 3) there is the possibility to reverse the
phase of the according input by 180˚.
The phase reversal is activated or deactivated by pulling the switch key
PHASE/DISPLAY (9) up, or by longer pressing the DIM button (approx. 2 seconds)
on your remote control. If the phase reversal is activated (180˚), the PHASE LED (2)
illuminates.
Every input needs to be preset separately. The presetting will be maintained.
NOTICE: Please be advised that each input can be reversed separately.
A phase reversal of the outputs is not intended.
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
By pushing the switch key PHASE/DISPLAY (9) down, or by shortly pressing the
DIM button on your remote control you can adjust the brightness of your display in
four steps from “maximum brightness” to “off”.
If modus “off” is chosen, the display illuminates when the device is operated to
indicate that a function is controlled, and dims out after a few seconds.
In modus “off”, the device shifts to maximum brightness in SETUP-mode.
The display will stay illuminated until you leave the SETUP-mode.
MODULE FUNCTION SWITCH KEY
SUBSONIC FILTER
If your preamp is equipped with either a Phono MM or Phono MC module, you have
the option to select a subsonic filter. Our subsonic filter eliminates low frequency
signals, which might come from the record player or wavy records. Switch on the
subsonic filter, if the bass membranes of your loudspeakers are moving very slowly
with a large swing.
The subsonic filter is activated or deactivated by pulling the switch key
MODULE FUNCTION (10) up, or by shortly pressing the AUDIO button on your
remote control. If the subsonic filter is activated, the AUDIO LED (3) illuminates.
USB RCA
If your preamp is equipped with a DAC module you are able to switch the inputs of
the module. Switching between the inputs RCA and USB can be done by pushing
down the switch key MODULE FUNCTION (10) on the front panel or by longer
pushing (approx. 2 seconds) the AUDIO button on your remote control.
The active input will be shown in the display.
The volumes of the inputs RCA and USB are separately adjustable.
(see THE SETUP MENUS / GLOBAL SETUP)
96KHZ 192KHZ
If your preamp is equipped with a DAC module you are able to select the sample
rate of the DAC module. Switching the sample rate between 96kHz and 192kHz can
be done by pulling up the switch key MODULE FUNCTION (10) on the front panel of
the unit or by shortly pushing the AUDIO button on your remote control.
If the sample rate is 192kHz, the AUDIO LED (3) illuminates.
