Operation

The M Zero Remote uses a remote control. An outline of the functions of this remote follows.

1: Tune Up

Not used by the M Zero Remote.

2: Tune Down

Not used by the M Zero Remote.

3: Band Selection

Not used by the M Zero Remote.

4: Channel Memory

Not used by the M Zero Remote.

5: Channel Up

Not used by the M Zero Remote.

6: Channel Down

Not used by the M Zero Remote.

7: Input Left

Selects the input left of the currently selected input.

8: Input Right

Selects the input right of the currently selected
input.

9: Mute

Mutes/un-mutes the output of the pre-amplifier.
When mute is on, the power LED will flash.

10: Volume Up

Increaces the output volume.

11: Volume Down

Decreaces the output volume.

Once all the connections are completed and checked, make sure all power amplifiers are off and flip
the mains rocker switch located on the back panel of the pre-amplifier to the 'on' position.

The M Zero Remote is a vacuum tube design and therefore requires about 45 seconds warm-up time.
After this the remaining system components may now be turned on.

In order to use the line inputs, select 'source' and the appropriate input. To listen to a tape select 'tape',
the position of the source selector will not affect the output when 'tape' is selected.

The volume control adjusts the overall output level of the pre-amplifier while the balance control can be
used to correct minor imbalances in the stereo image. The balance control provides 9dB of attenuation
for each channel. It will not reduce the volume of either channel to zero.

Bedding-in time

The pre-amplifier requires around 200 hours of initial use (called 'bedding-in time') before the circuitry
becomes stable and optimum performance is realised. As the pre-amplifier beds in, the sound will
become more lucid, detailed and expansive.

After the initial bedding-in, a short warm-up period is required each time the unit is turned on before
