XSP-1

10. Standby Button

Press to switch the amplifier On; press again to return to Standby. The halo around the 

Standby Button is lit amber in Standby mode and Blue when the XSP-1 is On. 

11. Input Selector Buttons

Pressing each button selects the associated Input; the VFD indicates which Input is 

currently selected. When you put the XSP-1 in Standby or turn it Off, it remembers which 

Input is selected and returns to it when turned On. 

12. Mute Button

Press the Mute button once to mute the output of the XSP-1; press it again to return to the 

previously selected level. Pressing the Mute button mutes both the main outputs and the 

headphone outputs. Turning the Volume up immediately cancels the mute function.

Note: If you turn the Volume down while the XSP-1 is in Mute mode, when the mute 

function is cancelled the XSP-1 will return at the new (lower) Volume level.  Turning 

the Volume up while the XSP-1 is in Mute mode immediately cancels the mute 

function.

** Max Start-up Volume

Normally, the Volume setting on the XSP-1 is retained when you switch to Standby mode 

or power the XSP-1 Off (separately for main output and headphone levels), and is restored 

when the XSP-1 is turned back on (the level actually quickly ramps up to the previously set 

level.) You can use the Max Start-up Volume feature to limit the level to which the XSP-1 

ramps on startup. 

To activate this feature, press and hold the Mute button for about five seconds. The VFD will 

change to Max Start-up Volume; use the Volume knob to change the setting and press the 

Mute button again to accept the setting. (As with other level settings, the Max  

Start-up Volume settings for the main outputs and for the headphones are stored 

separately. If you set this without headphones plugged in, it will apply to the main output 

level; if you set it while headphones are plugged in, it will apply to headphone level.)

Note: This setting does NOT limit the maximum level you can set using the Volume 

knob. When the XSP-1 is turned On, it will normally ramp up to the level that was 

set when it was turned Off; if the Max Start-up Volume is set to a lower value, the 

ramping up of the XSP-1’s Volume level at startup will stop at that setting instead. 

** Remote Control

The buttons on the full function remote control duplicate the functions of the all of the 

buttons on the front panel of the XSP-1.
