1MONO

Pressing this button will toggle the Nº38 in and out of the Mono mode, having the same effect as pressing the front panel mono button. Mono mode activates circuitry which combines Left and Right input signals, and sends the resulting monophonic signal to both Left and Right outputs. This circuit is particularly useful when listening to older, monophonic source material, at which time significant noise reduction may be realized.

2DISPLAY

Duplicates the function of the Display Intensity button on the front panel, cycling among four levels of brightness (including “off”) for the display, allowing adjustment for various ambient lighting conditions. (Tip: If pressed and held for several seconds, the Display button will place your Nº38 in Standby.)

3SOURCE SELECTION

These buttons provide remote selection of the six inputs of the Nº38. Pressing any of these buttons (or the Volume +/- buttons) while the Nº38 is in Standby will bring it fully on and operational.

These buttons are gray instead of black to serve as a reminder of this secondary function.

4VOLUME +/-

Raises the volume at either low speed for fine adjustments or high speeds for larger changes. The Nº38 will slowly raise its output for the first 1.5 seconds this button is depressed, then move to higher rates of change.

Pressing either Volume +/- button while the Nº38 is in Standby will bring it fully on and operational. These buttons are gray instead of black to serve as a reminder of this secondary function.

Note that all volume and balance functions are disabled if a surround sound processor [“ssp”] input is selected. For more information on this special feature of the Nº38’s design, see “Using Surround Sound Processors.”

5POLARITY

Inverts the polarity (sometimes inaccurately called “absolute phase”) of the outputs of the Nº38. A second press of this button will restore the outputs to their original, non-inverting polarity.

6MODE

Duplicates the function of the Mode button on the front panel, cycling through Monitor, Record Select, and Balance modes. As with the front panel button, use it in conjunction with the Source Selection buttons when in either Monitor or Record Select mode and with the Volume +/- buttons when in Balance mode.

7MUTE

Toggles between normal output level and the user-programmable Mute function, reducing the level by 1 to 60 decibels (depending on the user’s programming). The factory default setting gives a 20 decibel reduction in output.
