Please refer to the front and rear panel views on page 4 and the Remote Handset View on page 8.

SWITCHING ON

The Mains power switch (14) 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 Kandy Integrated Amplifier will go to STANDBY and the MODE indicator light (4) will glow GREEN. The amplifier is now ready for use.

You can activate your Kandy Integrated Amplifier in two ways:

1Press the MODE button (1) on the front panel once.

2Press the POWER button (2) on the remote handset once.

The Kandy Integrated will ‘wake up’ and the MODE indicator light (4) will glow RED. The amplifier will automatically check its input/output status and select and connect to the CD input and the CD input indicator light

(5)will glow RED. After a brief moment the output relays will click on and the amplifier goes into normal operation mode.

USING THE CONTROLS

MODE CONTROL

The MODE button on the Front Panel (1) has the following functions:

It activates the amplifier from Standby. NOTE: From the Remote Handset, only the POWER Button (2) can put the amplifier in and out of standby.

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

Full mute is only accessed from the Remote Handset by pressing the MUTE button (4). The MODE indicator light (4) will flash RED and the sound will be fully muted. 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 Kandy out of STANDBY having switched it ON at the Mains, the input selector will default to CD (as described previously).

When, however, the Kandy has been put into Standby from the MODE (Front panel) or the POWER (Remote handset) button, bringing it out of Standby will restore previously selected input and tape values.

INPUT SELECTOR BUTTONS

The INPUT Selector Buttons (2, Back) and (3, Forward) march through the inputs one click at a time. They connect each signal source to the amplifier by marching through the Inputs with the exception of TAPE. Pressing the Forward Button (3) repeatedly will select inputs in this sequence:

CD - TUNER - VIDEO - LINE1 - LINE2 - PHONO - CD - …

Pressing the Backward Button (2) repeatedly reverses the sequence.

Whenever an input is selected the appropriate indicator lights up.

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 indicator on the volume control to show the appropriate volume setting.

TAPE MONITOR

When you select an INPUT, the selected source is connected to the amplifier and to the Tape Output Sockets (4) of the Kandy thus enabling you to record off of the selected INPUT.
