Front Panel Controls
Figure 1: Nēo 340i Front panel
The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above).
The large display window indicates the selected
input source. If your Nēo 340i includes the digital
input option, additional information will appear in
the display window. Refer to the section entitled
“Optional Digital Inputs” on page 8 for further
details.
The “Standby” button disengages the input section
from the rest of the 340i’s circuitry. When in
“Standby” mode all audio circuitry remains powered
up to help maintain optimal performance. When
switching back from “Standby” to the “on” mode,
the blue LED directly above the display window will
illuminate, As well, the current ‘input’ will be
memorized from the previous listening session. The
blue indicator LED turns off when the 340i is in
“Standby” mode.
The “MP” button (for Media Player) has its
corresponding input connection located on the right
side of the front panel for easy access. It uses a
1/8” mini-jack connector which is the most common
type of connection found on portable media players.
When selected, the corresponding red LED, located
to the left of the button, will illuminate. When the
“MP” input is in use the display window
automatically turns off.
The “Display” button allows you to turn the digital
display on and off.
The two (2) buttons labeled ◄ INPUT ► allow you to
sequentially scroll, either forward (►) or backward
(◄) through all of the available inputs. Depending
on the installed options, the order of the inputs is as
follows going forward (►):
Basic Unit: “CD”, “A1”, “A2” and “A3”
All options installed: “CD”, “A1”, “A2”, “PH”, “B1”, “D1”, “D2”, “D3” and “D4”
The above abbreviations correspond directly to the
labeling of the rear panel inputs. By default the “CD”
input is intended for use with a CD Player, however
you can connect another type of source component
to it. “A1”, “A2” and “A3” are intended for use with
any type of source component that outputs analog
signal. If you have installed the optional phono
section, the “A3” input is replaced by “PH”. If you
have installed the balanced input option, “B1” will
appear after the “A3” / ”PH” input. Finally, if you
have installed the digital input option, “D1”, “D2”,
“D3” and “D4” will appear after either “B1” (if you
have the balanced option) or “A3” / ”PH”. The
optional inputs only appear if they are installed.
The “Spk off” button turns off the output signal only
to the loudspeakers connected to the Nēo 340i.
This feature is very useful when using headphones.
When this function is engaged, the red LED located
to the right will illuminate.
