manual. Please see that section for additional details. For now, it is

enough to know that the Nº32 can teach any of its infrared commands

to a learning remote control by broadcasting the appropriate code from

its display window. Even if you were to lose the Nº32 remote, you could

teach everything you need to another remote control (or order a re-

placement remote from us, of course).

setting a mute level The Nº32 Reference Preamplifier also allows you to customize the mag-

nitude of the change in volume caused by pressing the mute button.

The factory default setting is -20.0 dB, but you may select a value of

anything from -10.0 to -80.0 dB, in 0.1 dB increments. For example,

you may prefer to reduce the volume by 35 dB when mute is pressed,

so as to take a symphony orchestra playing at a realistic level down to a

level that allows comfortable conversation when someone enters the

room.

To change the mute level, press setup to enter the setup menu, turn the

select knob until Mute = -20.0 shows in the display, and then use the

volume knob to alter the mute level setting as you see fit. When fin-

ished, press enter to save your change. Pressing setup one last time

will return you to normal operation (leaving the setup menu).

setting a maximum level You may also set a maximum volume level for the Nº32, a particularly

useful feature if the system is sometimes used by people who may not

be as careful as you yourself would be. (Teenaged children come to

mind.)

To change the maximum level, press setup to enter the setup menu,

turn the select knob until MaxVol = 80.0 shows in the display, and

then use the volume knob to alter the maximum volume setting as

you see fit. When finished, press enter to save your change. Pressing

setup one last time will return you to normal operation (leaving the

setup menu).

configuring

the DC trigger

You may wish to use the DC trigger output on the rear panel of the

Nº32 Controller to turn on some other component automatically when

the Nº32 itself is on. If so, you have two trigger options: either a 12V

level

(constant) voltage that is present whenever the Nº32 is opera-

tional, and absent when the Nº32 is in standby; or a 5V pulse when-

ever the Nº32’s state is changed from one to the other (similar to the

output of a momentary contact switch). This menu item allows you to

choose which of these two options you want, given the needs of your

particular system.
