Step-by-step operating process

We've covered all of the basic controls and indicators of the Perseus. Here's how you use them to perform

the basic operations of turning the unit on, selecting a source, adjusting the sound, and turning the unit off.

STEP 1: Before making or changing any connections on the Perseus, turn off the master power switch on the

back of the power supply, and turn off the preamp and power amplifier(s).

STEP 2: If you are using the Perseus for the first time, set the Low EQ and High EQ switches on the back panel

to C.

If you are using the MM input for the first time, use a small screwdriver or a toothpick to set the MM loading

switches on the back panel according to the settings recommended by the manufacturer of your cartridge.

Feel free to experiment with different settings later if you wish. (See page 13 for more information.)

STEP 3: To turn on the Perseus from the front panel, push the Standby button in the middle under the LCD

touchscreen. You may also tap the touchscreen to "wake it up," then push the onscreen Power button.

Whichever way you turn on the power, you will hear the Perseus's internal relays click as the unit goes into

warm-up mode. In a few seconds, the front touchscreen will illuminate. The Input Select screen will then

appear, with the most recently used input selected.

STEP 4: If the input you want is not selected, select the desired input by pushing one of the onscreen buttons

for MC-1, MM, etc. The button for the selected input will go dark.

STEP 5: If you need to set up either of the MC inputs, push the Setup button on the front panel. Set the

operation for high gain or low gain, stereo or mono, as desired.

STEP 6: If you need to adjust resistive loading of the MC inputs, push the MC Load button on the Input Setup

screen. The settings of the load knobs in ohms will be displayed. Reach around to the back of the Perseus

and turn the right and left adjustment knobs until the settings are correct for your cartridge. If the two

readouts differ by an ohm or two, it doesn't matter. If the level is set to 000, you will get no sound.

STEP 7: If you wish to mute the output temporarily, such as when lowering the tonearm onto a record, push

the Mute button. An X will appear next to the speaker icon in the lower right corner of the touchscreen. Press

the Mute button again to restore the sound.

STEP 8: To turn the system off, stop playback on the source device. Press the Standby button in the middle

under the LCD touchscreen. The unit will enter cool-down mode for 10 seconds, during which no buttons will

work. After cool-down mode finishes, you can turn the unit back on again as described in Step 3 above.
