CFILTER

This button selects algorithms for upward conversion. Pressing the button repeatedly rotates the selection through the following (a lit indicator shows the current selection):

FIR RDOT FIR+RDOT

DF OFF (Digital Filter OFF)

RDOT

A fluency digital filter that does upward sample rate conversion. This filter has a slow roll-off characteristic and provides a smooth immersive sound. A maximum 16 times up-conversion is available.

FIR

An FIR-type digital filter that does upward sample rate conversion. This filter has a sharp roll-off characteristic and provides deep, well-defined sound. A maximum 8 times up- conversion is available.

FIR+RDOT

This provides a combined function of FIR and RDOT filters. The two up-conversion filters are directly coupled digitally so that the best of each is brought out.

Pressing and holding the FILTER button for more than 3 seconds shifts the unit to the setting mode (page 12).

DINPUT select switch

Use this switch to select digital inputs. Select which input your external digital device is connected. The corresponding indicator lights. It blinks when you select an input to which no device is connected or a device that is connected but either turned off or not compatible with the input type.

EOUTPUT

This button allows you to adjust the output level in 0.5 dB steps between –99.5 and +6 dB. You can also set the level to

– ∞. When using this feature, switch off the VOLUME BYPASS.

FVOLUME BYPASS

Pressing and holding this button for more than 3 seconds switches the Volume Bypass on and off.

On

By-passes the volume (output level) circuit. Switch the Volume Bypass on when you will be adjusting the volume using a connected preamplifier. The indicator lights up.

Off

Switch the Volume Bypass off when this unit is directly connected to your power amplifier and you will use the OUTPUT button to adjust the output level. The indicator turns off.

There is danger a sudden excessively loud signal will damage the speakers if you switch the Volume Bypass on while in the process of playing a CD or other media. Be sure to reduce the preamp’s volume before you switch the Volume Bypass on.
