OPERATION
SOURCE SELECTOR
The Source Selector switch, located on the front panel, allows the selection of one of three input stereo source selections connected to the RCA input jacks on the rear panel. Simply rotate the knob of the selector switch to the desired input source.
LISTENING LEVEL
The Listening Level control, a potentiometer located in middle of the front panel, allows the adjustment of the listening level (or output volume). Simply rotate the knob of the control to either increase or reduce the listening level. Alternatively, the listening level can be remotely controlled. The Remote Control Operation sections details the use of the hand held remote for this function.
REMOTE CONTROL
The hand held remote control allows the convenient adjustment of both listening level and the mute function. Point the hand held remote toward the amplifier front panel and press the remote control Volume
Point the hand held remote toward the amplifier front panel and press the remote control “Mute” button to activate Mute. Press “Mute” button again to deactivate the Mute function. A red LED indicator lamp located between the Source Selector switch and the Listening Level control will illuminate when the Mute function is On. The LED will go off when the Mute function is Off.
The infrared (IR) sensor is located on the front panel between the Listening Level control and the Headphone On/Off switch. The IR sensor must be free of obstructions in order to receive the signals from the hand held remote. The remote must be pointed to the front panel of the amplifier to function correctly.
HEADPHONE FUNCTION
The Headphone On/Off switch, located on the front panel, allows the output of the amplifier to be switched from the speakers to headphone jack when the switch is rotated to the “On” position. When the switch is set to the “Off” position the output of the amplifier is switched only to the speaker jacks. The headphone jack is not functional while the speakers are operating and the speaker jacks are not functioning when the headphone jack is active. A blue LED indicator lamp located just above the Headphone Jack will illuminate when the Headphone Jack is On. The LED will go off when the Headphone function is Off.
The 3 circuit headphone jack accepts a ¼” diameter stereo plug. Be sure to plug your headphone plug securely into the headphone jack. The CAD Xciter is capable of driving nearly
any dynamic headphone set to very high levels. The Listening Level control should be turned to a low setting prior to listening with headphones to avoid potential exposure to excessively loud sound levels. The listening level can then be adjusted to a comfortable setting.
