Operation
When you have made all the required connections, switch on the mains supply. Flashing bars will be shown on the back panel display for approximately 30 seconds. During this time the speaker’s servo circuitry is stabilising and no audio will be issued. When the display changes to show the standby symbol (see table below), the speaker is ready to receive an audio signal.
Whenever the AKURATE 221 speaker is disconnected from the mains supply and then reconnected, wait until the standby symbol appears on the display before playing a disc.
