The MXP2000 can accept up to eight linelevel input sources, including two tape recorders. Two pairs of line outputs are provided to feed one or two stereo power amplifiers. All functions can be operated using the infra-red remote control handset supplied. [. . . ] The TAPE input may is selected using the TAPE button ­ see below. Whichever source is selected will be sent both to the loudspeakers (via the line outputs) and to the TAPE REC and CD-R REC output sockets for recording. The only exceptions are CD-R which will not be fed to the CD-R REC output sockets as this could cause dangerous oscillation and LINE DIRECT which bypasses both record outputs. Recordings may be made from CD-R to TAPE, but not from TAPE to CD-R. Tape When you press the TAPE button you can hear the output signal from a tape deck connected to the TAPE PLAY sockets on the rear panel. Automatic Switch-On (CD/DVD/Tuner) If the standby button on the Tuner, CD or DVD player is pressed, the preamplifier will also awaken and select the correct source. REMOTE OPERATION OF THE MXP2000 PREAMPLIFIER The keys which control MXP2000 in Tuner/Amplifier mode are described below. The System Remote Owner's manual shows the location of each key, together with a brief description of its function. Standby This key operates in exactly the same way as the STANDBY ellipse on the front panel. It sends the command to switch the MXP2000, or any other Myryad pre- or integrated amplifier, into or out of standby mode. Menu When this key is pressed the preamplifier goes into setup mode. The p, q, Itt, uuI and SEL keys are used to navigate the Control Menu (see page 6). MENU can also be used to exit setup mode. Sel This key is used to "Select" (confirm) information in setup mode. p, q, Itt, uuI These keys are used to navigate in the menu. In general the up and down keys are used to select which parameter is to be adjusted while the left / right keys adjust the parameter which has been selected. Vol p and q Pressing one of the VOLUME p or q keys will increase or decrease the volume setting in exactly the same way as rotating the front panel volume control. If the preamplifier is in mute mode (after pressing MUTE on the R/C handset) then pressing the VOLUME p key will automatically disengage mute mode and re-connect the signal to the loudspeakers (via the line outputs). This prevents an excessively high volume level from being set by mistake. Mute Pressing the MUTE key on the handset will engage mute mode, the display will read "MUTE" in place of the volume setting and all the MXP2000's outputs (except the TAPE and CD-R record outputs) will be muted. MUTE is a "toggle" function, so pressing the key again will disengage the mute mode. The mute is also disengaged if the volume setting is increased, either by using VOL p on the remote control or by rotating the volume knob clockwise. If the volume setting is decreased whilst in mute mode, the display will briefly indicate the volume setting while it is being adjusted and then revert to the "MUTE" display after a few seconds. DIR, TP1, TP2, AUX, TV, CD, DVD, TUN These keys allow direct access to input sources. [. . . ] 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. UK version only: The fuse in the mains plug has failed. Check and replace if necessary. Sound in one channel only: · Interconnect cable pulled loose or making poor contact. Check and, if necessary, un-plug and re-plug all relevant cables. [. . . ]
