Balance Right - (available from the
remote only) Shifts balance right in
0.5dB increments and reduces the
volume in the opposite channel
equally. Balance level is visible on
the right side of the display.
MUTE - When coming out of Standby
the PRe6 starts in Soft Mute. This
volume level can be adjusted in
Configuration (of) Inputs. (This Soft
mute level is shown as the number
of decibels below the current listen-
ing level.) Pressing
MUTE will first
soft mute the unit. The volume quick-
ly ramps down to the preset soft
mute level and “SOFT” appears on
the right side of the display. The vol-
ume can be lowered while in soft
mute and then taken out of soft mute
at the desired listening level. After 3
seconds from pressing MUTE (after
the display dims), pressing MUTE
again will bring the PRe6 out of Soft
mute. Pressing MUTE twice within 3
seconds (before the display dims)
will fully mute the unit. The volume
quickly ramps down and “MUTE”
appears on the right side of the dis-
play. The listening level can again be
lowered while muted and then taken
out of mute at the desired level. Mute
shuts off the audio output. Coming
out of either mute mode, the volume
quickly ramps back up to the dis-
played level.
MAIN – Cycles through inputs. On
the remote, this is accomplished with
the LOOP button
INPUT – On the remote, the input
buttons allow you to select between
the 1st five active inputs. From the
remote, you can cycle through inputs
using the LOOP button. From the
front panel, you can cycle through
inputs by pressing the MAIN button.
When switching between inputs, the
PRe6 will quickly ramp down the vol-
ume, switch inputs, then quickly
ramp back up to the programmed
volume setting. All inputs can be dis-
abled if not used. See CONFIGURA-
TION INPUTS section.
