Speaker 1 & 2 (front panel only)
When pressing the buttons Speaker 1 or Speaker 2, you will first see the current status
setting; pressing one more time within five seconds on Speaker 1 and/or Speaker 2 will
turn the settings ON or OFF. Up to two speaker pairs can be connected and amplified at
the same time. NOTE the minimum load warning above.
Source < and > (front panel only)
The Source buttons can be used in two ways:
Directly, giving access to the Playback Source, switched with immediate effect. •
After having entered the Record Out mode to select the Source to be routed to the •
Record path.
Record Out (front panel only)
When pressing the Record Out button, you will have access to the selection of the source
you would like to get directed to the Record outputs. Scroll through the list of record
sources – CD, TUNER, AUX, CDR, TAPE, TV and PHONO – with the < and > buttons until
the desired source appears in the display.
Whether the source is analog or digital, the HK 990 will deliver the record signal in both
domains simultaneously through both the analog (CDR and Tape) and the digital (Coaxial)
outputs. This means that any analog input can be recorded digitally without addition of
an external analog/digital converter.
Input Setup (front panel and remote control)
Each input of the HK 990 can be configured to match the system and your personal taste.
In the following you can read a description of the Input Setup settings in detail, followed
by the options available for each input. Pressing the Input Setup button on the front panel
or the remote control enters and exits the Input Setup menu.
Note that the selection and navigation through the setup menus is made using the Up,
Down, Left and Right Arrow buttons and the Enter button.
