Ayre Acoustics MX-R manual Break-In, Standby

Page 10

Turning on a linked power amplifier will also turn on all other linked power amplifiers.

Standby

A short press on the standby button of a linked component will turn that individual component off. A longer press (more than two seconds) will turn off all linked components.

A long button press provides a simple way to turn the entire system off from any linked component.

Display Brightness

Changing the brightness level on the display of any linked component will cause a matching change in all linked components, including the status LED of the MX-R amplifier.

There is no directly accessible brightness control for the status LED on the MX-R. However if there are no other linked components available to adjust the brightness, a special configuration mode allows the desired brightness level to be selected. Please refer to the chapter “Customization and Configuration”.

Break-In

100 to 500 hours of music played through the system will ensure full break-in.

Due to the manufacturing processes used for the wires and capacitors, a break-in period is necessary for the amplifier to reach its full sonic potential.
