and the front panel switch may be used to manually control the unit.
Some equipment instead utilizes pulses as a trigger signal. The V-5x can also accommodate these units. To change trigger modes, turn the rear panel switch “Off” for about 30 seconds to discharge the internal voltages. Then press and hold the front panel switch while turning the rear panel switch “On”. The status LED will rapidly flash red (about 10 Hz) to indicate that the pulse-sensitive mode has been selected.
Repeating this procedure will revert the unit back to the level-sensitive mode, as indicated by the status LED slowly flashing red (about 1 Hz).
In the pulse-sensitive mode, a positive-going pulse edge will toggle the amplifier between the “Standby” and “Operate” states, duplicating the action of the front-panel switch. In this mode the front panel switch is always operative. However, operating the unit with the front panel switch may put the unit out of “synch” with the control device. If this should occur, simply press the front panel switch to restore “synch”.
Break-In
100 to 500 hours of music played through the system will ensure full break-in.
Due to the manufacturing processes used for the wires and capacitors, a break-in period is necessary for the amplifier to reach its full sonic potential.
