The MET1 has two basic modes of operation: Listening Mode and

Set-Up Mode. In Listening Mode, you may listen to multi-channel

sources or to stereo sources. When listening to any of the three

stereo sources, an Ambience Retrieval Mode (ARM) is available

which will synthesize six-channel sound from a two-channel

source. When properly adjusted, ARM can create a very

convincing acoustical environment, especially on live recordings.

(We recommend adjusting the ARM settings so that the rear

channels are barely audible, only contributing a sense of space to

the playback, and the level of the center channel is well below the

left and right channels).

The Set-Up Mode is used to adjust the relative levels of the six

channels for multi-channel sources, and for ARM.

Note: All front panel and remote controls are "tactile" switches

which operate by pressing and releasing.

<power> (front panel only): Press the switch labeled power to

switch the preamplifier on. The MET1 uses a time delay auto-

muting circuit to suppress transients at turn-on and turn-off. All

outputs are grounded via relays for approximately 45 seconds after

the unit is turned on. During auto-muting, the selected input

indicator led will flash. Level and balance control functions are

disabled during auto-muting, but input selection can be changed.

The muting relay also grounds the outputs immediately at turn-off

or in the event of any power line interruption. After the completion

of auto-muting, the selected input indicator led will be lit steadily

and the level display will light. When the MET1 is turned off (by

pressing the power switch again), the selected input indicator led

will remain steadily illuminated.

When first connected to ac mains, or after an interruption of power,

the MET1 will turn on with default settings (after auto-muting), with

levels set at 50, and DVD input selected. In subsequent sessions,

as long as the ac mains has not suffered a power outage, the unit

will turn on at the last used volume setting and input.

<mute>: Pressing the mute button will silence the preamplifier

main outputs on all six channels (but does not affect the TAPE

outputs), and set the level displays to zero. Pressing the mute

button again will restore the previously selected level setting.
