• OFF TIMER: The A14 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 A14 monitors the digital data stream to determine if there is
audio. If there is no audio detected for 10 minutes, the A14 will enter
Signal Sense Standby Mode. When in Signal Sense Standby Mode and
the A14 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 A14 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.
NOTE: When the A14 enters standby mode via the remote control,
the Signal Sense function will not operate until the unit detects the
audio has stopped for the minimum 10 minute time-out period. This
prevents the unit from immediately powering back on if there is still
active audio playing.
NOTE: When the SIGNAL SENSE function is activated the A14 will
consume additional power in signal sense standby mode.
• FIXED GAIN: Configures a Fixed Volume level for a specified input. To
enable this feature, select the desired fixed volume level for AUX1, AUX2,

enabled and the input with a Fixed Volume is selected, the Volume level
will immediately be set to the specified level.
Valid settings include: VARIABLE, FIXED MIN, FIXED 01-95, FIXED MAX.
