Setup Mode

Set1 Unused

Due to the large number of available inputs (eight) on the KX-R, activating only the desired inputs allows for simpler operation of the unit.

Only the active inputs will be included in the list of available source components. If no inputs are activated, the preamplifier will automatically enter the setup mode when AC power is applied.

Activating Inputs

The desired inputs are activated simply by naming them. When AC power is first applied to the unit, the front panel will briefly display “Ayre KX-R” and “FW Rev. x” in sequence, where “FW Rev. x” indicates “Firmware Revision x”, where “x” is a letter from “A” to “Z”.

Assuming that none of the inputs have yet been configured, the unit will then automatically enter the setup mode. The front panel will then briefly display “Setup Mode”.

After automatically entering the setup mode, the front panel will display “Set1 Unused”.
