Musical Fidelity CD Pre24 PRE-AMPLIFIER Operation, Mute Remote Control Only, Digital Monitoring

PRE-AMPLIFIER OPERATION

MUTE (Remote Control Only)

Pressing the MUTE button once on the remote control will interrupt analogue out- put to the amplifier. Pressing MUTE again will restore audio output. The LED in the volume control knob then goes off to indi- cate that the outputs are muted.

This function does not affect tape monitor or digital outputs.

If the CD Pre24 is powered off while still muted, the effect will be cancelled when next switched on.

DIGITAL MONITORING

(Remote Control Only)

Any selected input source can be monitored with suitable external equipment from the digital co-axial and/or optical output sock- ets.

A digital input source (co-axial only) can be monitored by pressing DIGITAL MONI- TOR on the remote control. This does not affect the selected input source, which will still be available from the tape or digital outputs.

This feature may be used together with a digital output to connect to a computer sound card or CD recorder, providing it has digital inputs and outputs.

If the selected input source is digital (CD or DVD audio formats only) a converted ana- logue signal will also be available at the tape output sockets.

Note that with this arrangement the CD Pre’s volume control has no effect.

TAPE MONITOR (Remote Control Only)

The CD Pre24 can be used in analogue mode for off-tape monitoring from 3-head tape decks.

This allows the user to compare the original sound with the recorded version while the recording is being made.

In this case, the recorder’s left- and right- hand line output sockets should be connect- ed to the CD Pre’s tape input, and the recorder’s line input sockets to the CD Pre’s tape output sockets.

To record, simply select the required source with the appropriate button on the CD Pre’s front panel or from the remote control.

Pressing TAPE MONITOR on the remote control will allow you to monitor what is being recorded, and the matching blue LED on the front panel will light to confirm oper- ation. Press TAPE MONITOR again to cancel this mode.

On some 3-head tape decks, there is an addi- tional “tape / source” switch which should be in the “tape” position for this arrange- ment to function. If in doubt, refer to the recorder’s user manual, or consult your dealer.
