Buttons on the remote control with blue-grey surround enable main functions of the ampli- fier to be operated from a convenient distance. Remaining buttons on this universal hand- set are for use with other Musical Fidelity products, and have no effect on the X-80 Integrated amplifier.

As the remote control uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the transmitter must be pointed directly towards the receiver window on the front of the amplifier, without visual obstruc- tion between them.

Pressing button numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4 selects a corresponding amplifier input.

Pressing the MUTE button mutes the SPEAKER output and PRE-OUT sockets, but has no effect on the TAPE OUT sockets for recording. To show that the amplifier is muted, the red LED on the front panel lights. Press the MUTE button again to cancel mute function, and the red LED will go out.

Pressing the volume-up or -down buttons on the remote handset will advance the motorised volume control in the required direction. This action also cancels the mute function.

If the range of the remote control greatly decreases, replace the batteries with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries - two are required, size LR03 or AAA, manganese alka- line type. Do not dispose of used batteries in a fire.
