REMOTE CONTROL

The blue buttons on the remote control enable main functions of the amplifier to be operated from a convenient distance. Remaining buttons on this universal handset are for use with other Musical Fidelity products, and have no effect on the A3.2 Integrated amplifier.

Equivalent buttons on the remote handset have the same functions as those on the front panel of the unit.

As the remote control uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the transmitter must be pointed directly towards the receiver window on the front of the amplifier, without visual obstruction between them.

Pressing the volume-up or -down buttons on the remote handset will advance the motorised volume control in the required direction.

The MUTE button mutes the SPEAKER output and PRE-OUT sockets. To show that the amplifier is muted, the blue LED in the volume control knob goes out. Press the MUTE button again to cancel mute function, and the blue LED will light again.

If the range of the remote control greatly decreases, replace the batteries with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries - two are required, type SUM-4, AAA or LR03.
