CONNECTING SETUP
SOURCE MODE OR PREAMPLIFIER (BY-PASS)
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/SLEEP
of any amplifier equipped with the same kind of Trigger inputs (ATOLL
amplifier).
Appliances must be linked as shown below: When the system is operating, the
ON/SLEEP switch of your power amplifier must remain in position SLEEP
(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 Ø 3,5 mm (1/8”).
Therefore, each time the Streamer comes out of SLEEP, the amplifier will
switch on. It will also turn off each time it is put on SLEEP.
PREAMP. / BY-PASS FUNCTIONS
VOLUME:
The volume is managed using the keys (21) of the front panel or the remote
control.
The volume level is displayed for a few seconds on the screen, 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 (2) application:
Settings / Rename local inputs.
NB.: The selected source is always followed on the display by a symbol *.
CONNECTION:
Particular case: BY-PASS assignment of an input for connection to a home
cinema system. Entry into BY-PASS 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: select Analog input 1 or 2 then hold the BY-PASS
button (29) on the remote control for 3 seconds. When the BY-PASS is active,
the led (a) is on. When an input is selected in BY-PASS 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 BY-PASS button on the remote control for 3
seconds.
USES
