To disconnect the Bluetooth:
- Hold press the button on the remote control for 3 seconds to force the current Bluetooth connection to be disconnected.
- Bluetooth with automatically disconnect if you remove the Bluetooth source beyond the communication area or turn off the connected device or turn off its Bluetooth function.
BASS
You can adjust the bass output by adjusting the BASS knob on the front panel.
To increase, turn clockwise. To decrease, turn counterclockwise. The BASS
control range is -6db to +6dB.
TREBLE
You can adjust the treble output by adjusting the TREBLE knob on the front
panel. To increase, turn clockwise. To decrease, turn counterclockwise. The
TREBLE control range is -6db to +6dB.
Note:
The RIAA playback characteristic has been incorporated in the LEAK STEREO 230,
as this is the internationally agreed standard. This characteristic does not
take into account the acoustics of the recording studio, the position of the
microphones relative to the artists, your pickup, your loudspeaker systems,
the acoustics of your room and your particular ears! In other words, the play-
back characteristic is of use only as an approximation, and it may well be
necessary to adjust the final result by using the controls marked as ‘BASS’
and ‘TREBLE’; this is the reason for their presence. When playing LP records
(331/3 and 45
r.p.m) made prior to 1955, for instance, the bass and treble controls maybe
used to correct differences in the recording characteristic.
When playing European 78 records, the ‘TREBLE’ control should, theoretically,
be turned to ‘2 O’Clock’.
Consumer opinion in some countries insists on a magnitude of available bass
boost which, if used at maximum, can only result in a travesty of the original
music. We have provided you with the availability of bass boost which you
certainly should not need if your pickup and loudspeakers are moderately good.
It is not possible to obtain true bass from small loudspeaker systems by
turning the ‘BASS’; control to maximum, though an intermediate setting may be
helpful, particularly when listening at low-intensity levels (as in an
apartment late at night).
BALANCE
The balance knob on the front panel can adjust the sound output balance of the
left and right speakers to compensate for an unbalanced sound.
Note: if you turn the balance control knob to full Left or Right, the opposite
channel will be silent.
DIRECT
Press the Direct button on the front panel of the LEAK STEREO 230 to activate
the direct function, and the indicator above the key will light up. Click to
turn off Direct again and the indicator goes off.
The LEAK STEREO 230 will bypass certain circuits within the amplifier design
by stopping the power supply to these circuitts. It will reduce noise and
electronic interference (albeit minor) in order to reproduce the purest sound
as is electronically possible.
Note: bass, treble, and balance controls are not available when direct is
activated.
PROTECTION MODE
The LEAK STEREO 230 is protected by a thermal switch that interrupts the AC
Power supply if the amplifier is grossly overloaded for a period of time. To
restore operation, simply press the Standby button on the front panel. It is
thus fully protected against gross overload, short-circuited output etc, but
not necessarily against seriously inadequate ventilation.
