Remote Control Operation

The MOON 700i Dual-Mono Integrated Amplifier uses the ‘FRM-3’ full function,

all aluminum backlit remote control (figure 3). It operates on the Philips RC-5

communication protocol and is can be used with other MOON components such

as CD Players, DAC’s, Integrated Amplifiers, as well as other Preamplifiers.

The ‘FRM-3’ remote uses three AAA batteries (included). To install them, use a
Phillips head screwdriver #1 to remove the three screws located on the rear

plate; insert the batteries in the correct direction and then screw the rear plate

back into place.

To operate the 700i with this remote control, you must first press the AMP

button located on the second row from the top.

The

power button switches the 700i between ‘Standby’ and ‘On’ mode.

The Balance W and Balance X buttons control channel balance; Pressing the

left arrow button causes a decrease in the volume level of the right channel;
pressing the right arrow button causes a decrease in the volume level of the left

channel. The balance adjustment operates in 1% increments. When the balance

is equal for both channels, “Е 00 Ж” will briefly appear in the front panel
display. The range for the balance control varies from “Å 100” for left channel
only to “100 Æ” for right channel only.

The Input S and Input T buttons allow you to sequentially scroll through each
of the preamplifier’s inputs, performing the identical function as the ‘Input’

buttons located on the 700i’s front panel

The Mute button, located between the input and volume buttons, reduces your

volume setting to zero, performing the identical function as the ‘Mute’ button

located on the 700i’s front panel.

The VolS and VolT buttons increase and decrease the volume level. From 30

to 80dB, holding either button down results in 1.0dB volume changes; repeatedly
pressing either button very briefly results in 0.1dB volume changes.

The Disp button allows you to adjust the brightness of the digital display

window. It also provides you with the option of turning off the display,

performing the identical function as the ‘Display’ button located on the 700i’s

front panel.

Mon engages (and disengages) the Monitor loop, performing the identical

function as the ‘Monitor’ button located on the 700i’s front panel.
