The Z140 Integrated Amplifier can accept up to six line-level input sources, including two tape recorders. Outputs are provided for one pair of loudspeakers, for headphones and for an auxiliary power amplifier. All functions ­ input selection, volume and standby ­ can be operated using the infra-red remote control handset supplied. [. . . ] Pressing one of the VOLUME or keys will cause the motorised volume control in the amplifier to rotate clockwise or anticlockwise respectively. There is one aspect in which the remote operation of the volume control is different from manual operation. If the amplifier is in mute mode (after pressing MUTE on the R/C handset) then pressing the VOLUME key will automatically disengage mute mode and re-connect the loudspeakers. This prevents an excessively high volume level from being set by mistake. Pressing the MUTE key on the handset will engage mute mode. The loudspeakers will be disconnected and the green STANDBY LED will flash slowly. MUTE is a "toggle" function, so pressing the key again will disengage the mute mode. The green STANDBY key at the bottom left of the handset can be used to toggle the amplifier into or out of STANDBY mode (see Front Panel Controls, section). The remainder of the System Handset buttons are dedicated to controlling the Z-Series CD Player and Tuner. Notes on their use can be found in the appropriate Owner's manual. setting up your system Z140 Integrated Amplifier installing and replacing handset batteries The System Remote Handset uses four 1. 5 V type AAA batteries. To fit new batteries first open the battery compartment in the rear of the handset and remove any existing batteries. Fit the new ones as directed by the symbols moulded inside the battery compartment, then replace the battery compartment cover. The batteries should always be removed if they are discharged (indicated by no remote control operation or by operation only at very short range), or if the remote control is not going to be used for an extended period.

The nine keys at the top of the handset control the Z140 Amplifier. When the switch is pressed in, signals from the AUX input will be heard when PHONO is selected. Sources can be left permanently connected to both the PHONO and AUX inputs and the PHONO/AUX switch used to select between them if desired. so that it consumes very little power and the loudspeaker outputs are muted by a relay. When the STANDBY button is pressed the circuitry is activated and, after a few seconds delay, the audio outputs will be enabled. During this delay period while the internal circuitry is settling the STANDBY LED will flash green. When the outputs are de-muted it will glow green continuously. When the STANDBY button is pressed again the amplifier will be returned to standby mode, the STANDBY LED will glow red again and all other LEDs and displays will be extinguished. When the Z140 is switched out of standby, the input used last is automatically selected and, after a few seconds settling delay, the loudspeaker outputs will be connected. When first switched out of standby after POWER ON, the CD input will be selected by default. CAUTION: WHEN IN STANDBY MODE THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY IS STILL LIVE, SO ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. socket automatically disconnects the loudspeakers, silencing them. [. . . ] Always press MUTE on the remote handset again to disengage MUTE before advancing the volume control setting. 3 My-Link input/output When the Z140 or Z160 is used in a system with other Z-Series (or Myryad M-Series, or Cameo) products, all may be joined together via My-Link. The My-Link is a communications bus that allows all the linked components to operate together as a system and distributes the remote commands received by any one to each of the others. The simplest function provided by the My-Link bus is that all linked units will switch into or out of standby mode when the integrated amplifier or remote control standby key is pressed. Use a short RCA-to-RCA (phono-to-phono) interconnect cable to connect from the MYLINK OUT socket on the amplifier to the MY-LINK IN socket on the CD player and a second cable from the MY-LINK OUT socket on the CD player to the MY-LINK IN socket on the tuner.
