Peachtree Audio nova150 (Factory Recertified) Manuel Du Propriétaire
The nova includes a Volume Control Bypass (VCB) input mode that removes the built-in
output level control from the signal path. This is useful when using digital sources that have
their own volume control built in that you prefer to use for convenience. When an input is
selected, the LED will light blue if VCB mode is disengaged (the built-in volume control is in
the signal path) or green if VCB mode is engaged (the volume control in the source device
must be used).

To set up Volume Control Bypass mode:
1. Make sure the connected device is set to a low volume level!
2. Press and hold the desired input button for ~5 seconds to engage the VCB input
2. Press and hold the desired input button for ~5 seconds to engage the VCB input
mode, indicated by the input LED turning green. Note: repeat this step to
disengage the VCB input mode, indicated by the input LED turning blue. VCB
input mode disengaged is the factory default setting.
disengage the VCB input mode, indicated by the input LED turning blue. VCB
input mode disengaged is the factory default setting.
The Volume Control Bypass feature is not available on the AUX-2/PHONO input. Pressing
and holding the AUX-2/PHONO input button for ~5 seconds toggles the input mode
between AUX-2 and PHONO. This feature is unique to the AUX-2/PHONO input.

Caution: when the nova is in VCB input mode, the source device is in complete control of
the output level sent to the power amplifier and speakers. If extra care is not taken,
significant damage to the speakers or power amplifier may occur. Peachtree Audio does
not accept any responsibility for damage caused by improper setup or use of this feature.

LOOP OUTPUT & LOOP INPUT:
This is a loop feature (similar to a processor or tape
monitor loop) with an output and input that are tied together to allow an audio processing
device to be inserted into the signal path of the currently selected input. The loop is active
when the LOOP LED on the front panel is lit blue. The loop is engaged and disengaged
using the LOOP button on the remote control. This makes it easier to compare the original
audio signal to the modified audio signal from the connected device from your listening
position. Please note that when the loop is active, the audio signal from the nova is output
on the LOOP OUTPUT connectors and the audio signal output from the connected device
is looped back into the LOOP INPUT connectors on the nova. Improper wiring or use of
this feature may result in no audio when the loop is engaged. When the loop is
disengaged, the circuit is completely bypassed to shorten the audio signal path and
minimize potential interference.
