Should the AC line voltage drop below 80% of normal (brown-out), the unit will revert to “Warm-Up” mode and the indicator light will glow red. After the voltage returns to normal, the initial warm-up cycle will begin again.
The Ayre V-1x also incorporates a sensor to detect the presence of DC at the output terminals. In this case, the amplifier reverts to “Warm-Up” mode, the indicator light glows red, and power is immediately removed from the output stage. If the fault is still present when the front panel switch is pressed to “Operate” after the warm-up cycle is completed, the unit will immediately revert to the “Warm-Up” mode again.
Remote Control
The remote control included with the Ayre V-1x has four buttons. The single button on the left side of the hand-held transmitter will select the “Standby” and “Operate” modes on the amplifier, duplicating the action of the front-panel switch. The three buttons on the right side of the remote control will operate an Ayre preamplifier.
Break-In
100 to 500 hours of music Due to the manufacturing processes used for the wires and
played through the system will capacitors, a break-in period is necessary for the amplifier to
assure full break-in.reach its full sonic potential.
