FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
Before attempting any system interconnection, please familiarize yourself with the front panel
controls and indicators of the CONTINUUM S2. The descriptions refer to the illustration below:
(1) INPUT SELECTOR BUTTONS: Pressing these buttons selects an input source (CD, tuner,
phono, etc.) connected to the associated rear panel inputs (see Rear Panel Signal
Connections on page 15). To select a desired input, press the corresponding Input Selector
Button. When an input is activated, the small, green Input Indicator below the INPUT
SELECTOR BUTTON will illuminate.
(2) BYPASS MODE: The BYPASS MODE allows the CONTINUUM S2 to be installed in a home
theater or surround sound system. Pressing this button will allow a multi-channel processor
to bypass the integrated amplier functions of the CONTINUUM S2, with the volume
controlled only by the external processor. The indicator light below the BYPASS button will
illuminate yellow to show that the Bypass function is active.
NOTE: Input 5 can be switched between BYPASS MODE and NON-BYPASS MODE following the
instructions on page 19. Non Bypass Mode allows Input 5 to be utilized as a regular input
subject to default integrated amplier functions.
NOTE: Do not connect a source component to the BYPASS inputs if it does not have its own
volume control. The volume control of the CONTINUUM S2 is inactive when BYPASS MODE is
selected.
(3) PHASE: Pressing this button will invert the phase of both channels of the selected input
and illuminate the yellow indicator light below the PHASE button. Pressing this button
again will turn off the light and return the phase to uninverted polarity.
