J.Rowland Is it possible to shut off the display

Hi Gary (Garebear),

So you are happy now with your Synergy IIi? I know that you felt it was a bit bright when you first bought it. Did you change cables? What helped smooth out the sound?

Cheers,
John

One other bit of info that may be of use. Holding down the mode/input button on the remote on the Jungson until the display flashes and then using the volume control on the remote will allow you to cycle up or down in volume much more quickly than in the "normal" mode. This is a very useful feature that I use quite a bit as adjusting volume in the default mode is pretty slow.

Onhwy61: Perhaps you're right, but I must say that a.) the vast majority of the CDs which I listen to sound quite well-balanced. b.) I don't really want to tinker with the balance function on a regular basis, even if the odd recording will benefit. c.) one of the very few criticisms of the Concentra that I have is the placement of the balance buttons. I prefer not to have to look at the remote (sometimes the light is dim, anyway), and have found that I would inadvertantly hit one of those buttons often enough that it was a pain (to have to reset, etc.).

Hdm: The Rowland remote, while simple, is THE most responsive I've ever used. When the volume button is depressed briefly, it is easy to fine tune the calibrations. When kept depressed, the 0–60 (decibel) time is the stereo equivalent of a Porsche Turbo!

Bxxxb, I am not sure if you got an answer on the turning off the display on the Concerto. If not, I have the answer. Send me your email and I will email you the PDF.

Re: Concerto Volume Display Adjustments

Dear Friends,

There is an adjustment available for the Concerto Integrated Amplifier volume display that we wish to bring to your attention. The display can be changed to operate in a “5-Second Delay” mode that allows the display to turn off or go dark 5 seconds after the last user interface command.

In most cases, there will be no changes necessary,
however for the customers who would like to use the 5-Second Delay option, the adjustments are simple and easily made.

Situation: The customer would like to activate the 5-Second Delay volume display function. This will allow the unit’s display to go blank or dark 5 seconds after the last user command is given from either the front panel of the wireless remote control.

Adjustment: A jumper on the rear panel board must be moved to a new position as illustrated below.

Adjustment Procedure:
1 Place the unit upside-down on a soft, clean surface.

Using a #10 Torx driver, remove the twelve (12) screws that secure the bottom cover of the unit.

2 Locate jumper position J17 on the rear panel board of the unit. Using a pair of Needle Nosed pliers, move the jumper from between pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3. See Figure 1.

Note: In some instances it may be necessary to remove the AC line filter from the main chassis to gain access to the jumpers. The AC line filter is held in place with four tension loaded tabs or “ears.” To remove the AC line filter, simply compress the tabs on either side of the filter and push the filter assembly towards the rear panel of the chassis. To reinstall the filter, simply press it back into place.

3 Replace the bottom cover. Using a #10 Torx driver, reinstall the twelve (12) screws that secure the bottom cover to the chassis.

Here is the solution.
