EVOLUTION 2 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

POWER CONSUMPTION

It is appreciated by hi-fi enthusiasts that leaving equipment powered up continuously can improve the performance. However, this small improvement in sound quality comes at the expense of higher power consumption from the mains, which will cost more for your electricity and also reduced working life of the product.

We recommend that if the equipment is not being used for a period of time, it would be better to switch it off from the mains switch on the front panel. Normal performance can be achieved in a short period of time.

OPERATING THE EVOLUTION 2

Make sure that the amplifier is on a suitable table, shelf or hi-fi equipment cabinet.

It is important to allow adequate ventilation to the heat-sink in the centre of the unit. Avoid obstruction of the ventilation slots on the top and bottom of the amplifier. It may be necessary to place the amplifier on the top of other equipment, or a separate shelf to allow for this.

Switch on the amplifier by pressing the push button marked Power on the right hand side of the front panel. The power button on the remote handset does not turn on the amplifier. You will note that once switched on, the amplifier shows a pre-set moderate turn on volume level.

Select the desired input from either the rotary selector or remote handset. Adjust the volume and settle down to listen. To switch off the amplifier, press the power button.

Your EVOLUTION 2 amplifier is designed to give you years of reliable use. If you need more assistance, it is always advisable to go back to the supplying dealer for his expert help. If you are unfortunate enough to need service work to be carried out on your amplifier, it should be returned to your dealer in the original packing material if possible.

REMOTE CONTROL

Creek’s SRC 3 remote control handset allows the user to operate the volume control, input selection and mute by an infra-red signal using NEC codes. It should be noted that the Creek SRC3 remote handset will operate both Creek’s EVOLUTION and DESTINY range of products as well as some older Creek products. It transmits both NEC and RC5 codes concurrently. In the case of Evolution 2 the SRC3 is not able to power up the mains.

The input button (on the left hand side of the handset beneath the numeric keys) will sequence through all available inputs.

To mute the sound, press the mute button in the centre of the main control buttons. Pressing it a second time returns the amplifier to the previous level at which it was playing.

Volume down and volume up buttons are on the left and right of the centre controls of the handset.

The display button found on the top right hand side of the remote dims/brightens the display. The remaining buttons are for use with other source products.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

The Creek EVOLUTION 2 amplifier is designed to work properly in normal domestic operating conditions. However, the amplifier's performance could be affected if sited near to a radio transmitter such as a mobile phone etc.
