Remote Control
1 MONO
Pressing this button will toggle the Nº380 in and out of the
mono mode,
having the same effect as pressing the front panel mono button. Mono
mode activates circuitry which combines Left and Right input signals, and
sends the resulting monophonic signal to both Left and Right outputs. This
circuit is particularly useful when listening to older, monophonic source ma-
terial, at which time significant noise reduction may be realized.

2 DISPLAY
Duplicates the function of the
display intensity button on the front panel,
cycling among four levels of brightness (including “off”) for the display, al-
lowing adjustment for various ambient lighting conditions. (Tip: If pressed
and held for several seconds, the display button will place your Nº380 in
Standby.)
3 SOURCE SELECTION
These buttons provide remote selection of the six inputs of the Nº380.
Pressing any of these buttons (or the
volume +/- buttons) while the Nº380
is in standby will bring it fully on and operational. These buttons are gray
instead of black to serve as a reminder of this secondary function.
4 VOLUME +/-
Raises the volume at either low speed for fine adjustments or high speeds
for larger changes. The Nº380 will slowly raise its output for the first 1.5 sec-
onds this button is depressed, then move to higher rates of change.
Pressing either volume +/- button while the Nº380 is in standby will bring
it fully on and operational. These buttons are gray instead of black to serve
as a reminder of this secondary function.
Note that all volume and balance functions are disabled if a surround
sound processor [“ssp”] input is selected. For more information on this spe-
cial feature of the Nº380’s design, see “Using Surround Sound Processors.”
5 POLARITY
Inverts the
polarity (sometimes inaccurately called “absolute phase”) of the
outputs of the Nº380. A second press of this button will restore the outputs
to their original, non-inverting polarity.
6 MODE
Duplicates the function of the Mode button on the front panel, cycling
through
monitor, record select, and balance modes. As with the front panel
button, use it in conjunction with the Source Selection buttons when in ei-
ther
monitor or record select mode and with the volume +/- buttons when
in balance mode.
