A29 operation

Switching on

The button switches the unit on and off.
POWER
The power light (next to the 'POWER/STANDBY' text)
indicates the state of the amplifier: it changes from red
to orange then green if mains power is connected and
the unit is switched on.

Auto standby

In order to comply with international regulations for
consumer products, this unit is designed to enter a low
power standby mode if no user interaction is detected
for an extended period of time. The unit can be brought
out of standby by either turning the control knob on the
front panel in either direction or by pressing the 2 key
on the remote control.
This time can be adjusted by pressing the AUX and
BALANCE buttons on the front panel and turning the
control knob to the desired value. The available values
are from OFF to 24 hours, in half hour steps.
Note: if the standby timeout is set to OFF, the standby
feature will be disabled.

Display

The button (or on the remote control)
DISPLAY DISP
changes the display brightness between 'on' , 'dimmed'
and 'off ' . If the A29 is powered off with the display
brightness set to 'off ' , the display resumes to 'dimmed'
when the unit is powered on again.

Phono input

Phono-level input
The A29 provides a pre-amplification stage to treat
the low-voltage output from a MM (moving magnet)
cartridge. Input specifications are given on page 14.
Output volume is shown on the front display as
PHONO 20, for example.
Line-level phono input
The phono input may be changed from phono-level to
line-level. Press the front panel and
PHONO BALANCE
buttons simultaneously and use the control knob to
change the setting. The front panel display shows
PHONO ON or LINE ON respectively.
If you wish to use an external phono amplifier, connect
its output to the input, but make sure that
PHONO (MM)
LINE ON is selected, since a phono amplifier produces
line-level input.
With the input defined in this way, output volume is
shown on the front display as LINE 20, for example.
WARNING: NEVER play a standard line-level source into the
phono input when set to LINE-OFF. This would result in serious
damage to both your amplifier and speakers due to the extra
gain that is applied and would not be covered under warranty.

Selecting an audio source

Audio sources may be selected from the front panel
buttons
(PHONO, AUX, CD, TUNER, SAT, BD, PVR, AV)
remote control
(PHONO, AUX, CD, TUN, SAT, BD, PVR, AV)
In each case, the source is selected from the input
sockets with the corresponding name.

Audio inputs

Although the inputs are labelled for specific devices,
all have the same characteristics and each may be
used with any line-level product. The exception is the
input (see page 14 for the specification).
PHONO (MM)
AUX
This is a 3.5mm analogue input on the front panel
intended for use with devices such as MP3 players. To
connect an MP3 player (or other portable audio device)
you will need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable connected
between the AUX input and the headphone output
socket of the player.
