Ayre Acoustics K-5x - Manual (Page 10)

Mute
Muting and un-muting may
also be performed with the
remote control.
The mute button provides an easy way to
temporarily turn the volume of the K-5x to “zero”.
The current volume control setting is retained in
memory and appears on the display.
Tape Output
The “Tape Output” function
does not operate on the “Moon”
input. This avoids the
undesired possibility of
creating a feedback loop.
When the “Tape Output” button is pressed, the
indicator will light up and the signal from the
currently selected source component will be routed
to the “Tape Out” connectors. This allows a
recording to be made.
Turn the “Tape Output” off, unless a recording is
being made. This will completely disconnect the
recorder from the K-5x (including the ground
connection), avoiding the possibility of undesired
ground loops.
Display
The display function is only
available from the remote
control.
The display of the K-5x may be turned off via the
remote control, if desired. A single blue light
indicates that the display is turned off. When
further commands are received, either from the
front-panel buttons or the remote control, the
display will be activated for a few seconds to confirm
the command, and then turn off automatically.
Pressing the “Display” button on the remote control
again will turn the display on.
