SWITCHING ON

The Mains power switch (16) is located on the rear panel of the amplifier. This switch should be left ON for normal operation. If unattended for a long period, the Mains power should be switched OFF and the lead disconnected from the power supply.

When switched ON from the rear panel your Caspian Integrated Amplifier runs a self-test and the indicator lights on the front panel pulse twice. The amplifier then reverts to STANDBY and the MODE indicator light (3) will glow GREEN. The amplifier is now ready for use.

You can activate your Caspian Integrated Amplifier in two ways:

1Press the MODE button (2) once.

2Rotate the INPUT selector (1) in either direction by one step.

NOTE: The remote handset will activate the amplifier in the same manner.

The Caspian will ‘wake up’ and the MODE indicator light (3) will glow RED. The amplifier will automatically select the CD input and the CD input indicator light (4) will glow.

USING THE CONTROLS

MODE CONTROL

The MODE button has the following functions:

•It activates the amplifier from Standby.

•Pressing the MODE button once with the amplifier activated will mute the volume level by 20dB. The MODE indicator light will glow ORANGE. The amplifier remains fully functional in this mode. Another single press unmutes the amplifier and the MODE indicator light will revert to RED.

•With the amplifier activated, a sustained press on the MODE button reverts the amplifier to Standby, all the input indicator lights will be extinguished and the MODE indicator light will glow GREEN.

NOTE: When you bring the Caspian out of STANDBY having switched it ON at the Mains, the input selector will default to CD (as described previously).

When, however, the Caspian has been put into Standby from the MODE button, bringing it out of Standby will restore previously selected input, tape and mute values. Bringing the Caspian out of Standby by moving the INPUT Selector one step in either direction also leaves these amplifier settings unaffected.

INPUT SELECTOR SWITCH

The INPUT Selector is an endless rotary switch that moves round one click at a time. It connects each signal source to the amplifier by rotating through the Inputs with the exception of TAPE. Rotating the Selector continuously clockwise will select inputs in this sequence:

CD – TUNER – VIDEO – LINE1 – LINE2 – CD - … Rotating the Selector anti-clockwise reverses the sequence. Whenever an input is selected the appropriate indicator light will glow.

VOLUME CONTROL

The VOLUME Control is a precision device. It follows a logarithmic law so that its response approximates that of the human ear. There is an illuminated indicator on the volume control to clearly show the appropriate volume setting.

TAPE MONITOR

When you select an input source, the INPUT Selector connects the selected source to the amplifier and connects this source to the Tape Output Sockets of the Caspian thus enabling you to record.

The Tape Monitor is an override. Pressing the TAPE Button (10) connects the output of your tape deck to the Caspian, overriding the selected input. However, the selected input is left connected to the recording input of your tape deck. If you have a suitable tape deck, this facility enables you to record a programme whilst monitoring its playback.
