• POWER ON MAX VOL: This sets the maximum volume level when the unit
is turned on. "45" is the factory default.
NOTE: Power On Max Volume settings do not apply to sources
configured with Fixed Gain.
• USB POWER: This option allows the rear panel USB connector to provide
power, even when the A12 is in standby mode.
To enable the continuous power mode, select the ALWAYS option. To provide
power only when the A12 is powered on, select the NORMAL option. The
default for USB POWER is set to NORMAL.
NOTE: The front panel power button must be in the ON position to
supply power to the rear panel USB connector.
NOTE: When the USB POWER is configured to ALWAYS the A12 will
consume additional power in standby mode to supply USB power.
• OFF TIMER: The A12 can be configured to automatically power off if
unused for a specified period. If no changes are made to the unit within
the specified "Off Timer" period the unit will automatically go to STANDBY
mode. The Auto Power Off timer will be restarted if changes are made to
the volume, source or playback. The default for Off Timer is set to DISABLE.
Valid settings include: DISABLE, 1 HOUR, 2 HOURS, 5 HOURS, 12 HOURS.
• SIGNAL SENSE: Check if a digital audio signal is present on the configured
Signal Sense input. When this input is selected as the active listening
source, the A12 monitors the digital data stream to determine if there is
audio. If there is no audio detected for 10 minutes, the A12 will enter
Signal Sense Standby Mode. When in Signal Sense Standby Mode and
the A12 detects audio on Signal Sense input, the unit will automatically
power on. To disable this function, select the OFF option which is the
factory default setting.
NOTE: To use the Signal Sense function, the A12 must be actively
listening to the configured Signal Sense source. If a source other than
the configured Signal Sense source is selected, the automatic power
off and power on functions will not be active. Example: if the Signal
Sense source is configured as COAX 1 and the unit is listening to OPT
2, the signal sense functions will not be activated.
