Controls and Operation At the heart of the Ayre AX-7’s control system is a sophisticated microprocessor. This microprocessor is normally “asleep” and all digital systems are turned off, including the master clock. When the microprocessor receives a command, either from the front panel or the remote control, it “wakes up” to execute the command, and then immediately returns to “sleep” mode. This system ensures noise-free reproduction of music signals. Volume Control The volume level is changed Th

The chosen input is now programmed for “Processor Pass-Through” operation, disabling the now redundant volume control of the AX-7. When that input is selected, the preamplifier section of the AX-7 is set to unity gain (0 dB), and the volume is controlled directly from the surround-sound processor. The volume indicator of the AX-7 will display “PP” to show that the “Processor Pass-Through” mode has been selected for that input. A y r e To clear the “Processor Pass-Through” mode from an input a
