Front Panel Controls
Figure 1: 250i v2 Front panel
The “Standby” button disengages the input section
from the rest of the MOON 250i v2’s circuitry.
Whenin “Standby” mode all audio circuitry remains
powered up to help maintain optimal performance.
When switching back from “Standby” to the “on”
mode, both the ‘input’ and volume level settings will
be memorized from the previous listening session.
The blue indicator LED turns off when the 250i v2 is
in “Standby” mode.
The MOON 250i v2 integrated amplifier
hassix(6)inputs. Each of the first five (5) inputs
hasacorresponding pair of input connections
located on the unit’s rear panel (refer tothesection
entitled “Rear Panel Connections” forfuther details).
The sixth input, labelled “MP” (Media Player) has its
corresponding input connection located on the right
side of the front panel for easy access. The “MP”
input uses a 1/8” mini-jack connector which is the
most common type of connection found on portable
media players. Select any one of these six (6) inputs
bysimply pressing the associated button.
Whenselected, the corresponding red indicator LED,
located directly beside the button willilluminate.
The “Spk off” button turns off the output signal only
to the loudspeakers connected totheMOON
250iv2. This feature is very useful when using
headphones. When this function isengaged, the red
LED located to the right willilluminate.
The “Mute” button mutes the output signal
totheloudspeaker terminals, headphone jack,
aswell as both the fixed and variable line output
connectors (refer to the section entitled “RearPanel
Connections” for further details). Pressing the
“Mute” button a second time willreinstate the
volume back to its previous level. When the output
signal is muted, the red LED to the right will
repeatedly flash on and off.
The “Phones” jack is used for connecting a pair of
stereo headphones to the MOON 250i v2. Theinput
connector is a standard ¼” stereo TRS jack. When a
pair of headphones are used with the 250i v2, the
loudspeakers will still receive an output signal.
However, you should use the“Spkoff” button for
private listening.
The rotary “Volume” control determines theoutput
level and has an embedded red LED toindicate its
actual position.
The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The remote control sensor is located directly to the right of
the “Phones” output jack and it should never be blocked, otherwise remote control operation may be
compromised.
