    SOURCE MODE OR PREAMPLIFIER (BYPASS)
    This device can be used as a source (like a CD player) or as a preamplifier which gives the ability to control the volume.
    The schemes below show how to connect correctly depending on your choice. TRIGGER LINK
    This appliance is equipped with a Trigger that allows the switch ON/OFF of any amplifier equipped with the same kind of Trigger inputs (amplifier ATOLL AM200se/Sig).
    Appliances must be linked as shown below: When the system is operating, the ON/OFF button of your AM200se must remain in position OFF (position (0)). If the switch is in the ON position (I), the amplifier will work but not the Trigger function.
    Trigger cable must be a stereo Male to Male jack plug 3,5mm (1/8”).
    From then on, each time the Streamer comes out of standby, the amplifier will turn on. It will also turn off each time it goes to sleep.
    PREAMP / BYPASS FUNCTIONS
    VOLUME :
    The volume is managed using the buttons (21) on the front panel or the remote control.
    The volume level is displayed for a few seconds on the display, and it always remains indicated at the top of the display.
    On start-up, the volume is still the one that remained previously.
    Volume at zero corresponds to a complete “MUTE” of the device with switching of the output relay.
    SOURCES :
    Your appliance has 6 inputs (unless USB, media server, Bluetooth®):
    Line 1 / Line 2 / Coaxial 1 / Coaxial 2 / Optical 1 / Optical 2
    These sources can be renamed from the ATOLL Signature application: Settings/Rename local inputs.
    NB. : the selected source is always followed on the screen by a symbol *.
    CONNECTION :
    Particular case: BYPASS assignment of an input for connection to a home cinema system. Entry into BYPASS function is only possible on Analog inputs 1 and 2.
    In this case, the volume management function is inoperative on the selected input. To switch to this mode, position yourself on Analog input 1 or 2 then hold the BYPASS button (39) on the remote control for 3 seconds. When the BYPASS is active, the led (22) is on. When an input is selected in BYPASS mode, it will remain memorized in this mode even if the source is changed or the power is turned off.
    To deactivate this mode, press the BYPASS button on the remote control for 3 seconds.
