The remote operates the basic functions of the Argo. It does not operate other Constellation Audio source
devices, such as the Perseus phono preamp and the Cygnus digital file player.
18. Standby
Push this button to turn the Argo on and off. When you turn the unit on, it will take a few seconds for the power
supply and integrated amp to warm up. When the integrated amp is ready for use, its LCD screen will show the
most recently selected input. To put the unit in Standby mode, press this button again after turning on the
power.
Hold this button down for 5 seconds to turn the integrated amp off. The unit will enter cool-down mode for 10
seconds. During cool-down, no buttons on the unit or remote will operate.
19. Mute
Press this to button to silence the Argo temporarily. The numerical volume readout will flash. Press again to
restore the audio. Because the Argo uses a relay to perform the mute function, it may take a second or so for
this control to respond.
20. Volume up/down
Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume. Each press changes volume by 1 dB at volumes below -50.0
dB, and 0.5 dB at volumes above -50.0 dB. Holding the buttons down raises or lowers the volume quickly.
21. Balance left/right
Press these buttons to shift the balance to the left or right. Each press changes the balance by 0.1 dB.
