and Off. Default setting is Bright. Manually selection of illumination levels over-writes the
default setting. Removing power re-boots the system and re-establishes the default
settings. When in Off the display will illuminate at the Dim level only as control
selections are being made. Six seconds after the last control command the display will
blank, returning to Off.
The two input elect switches (designated by left and right pointing arrows) toggle
through inputs 1-5 in sequence.
When selecting an active input, as previously indicated, the left and right arrows select
for inputs 1 through 5. Input 5 is unique in that it is linked with the PASS THRU (Home
Theatre) function. (The HOME THEATRE / PASS THRU FUNCTION is discussed at
length below.)
The theater “Pass Thru” function bears special attention, this function is only available
as direct access through the hand held remote control. This function is associated only
with input number 5 and has two positions selected with the “pass thru” button on the
remote; those two positions, on and off. This function is useful in that it allows the
preamplifier to function as a unity buffer (0dB gain at volume step 75) for use with
components that best function with their own volume controls, such as surround
processors. When the right-front and left-front outputs of the processor are routed
through input 5 of the XP-20 (with the gain of the XP-20 set for step 75), the volume will
be under full control of the processor and the XP-20's action will be totally transparent.
When the user chooses this setting the software sets the XP-20's gain to step 75 and
displays the setting as 75P for both right and left channel, regardless of how it was
previously configured. When at unity gain in the home theater mode (Pass Thru) both
left and right level controls on the XP-20 will have a displayed value of 75P (0 dB), and
any previous balance settings will be over written, allowing total control by the
