The Nova remote control is straightforward, easy to use, and el-
egantly designed.
We
suggest
that
after
you
manually
turn
the
Nova
“on”,
that
standby
be
your
default
position
when
the
Nova
is
not
in
use.
It
will
not
damage
the
unit
or
wear
the
parts
out
more
quickly
than
being completely “off”.
On/Standby: This button switches
Coax 1 & 2: These buttons select
digital audio source at the Coaxial
digital connection.
Opt 1 & 2: These buttons select
digital audio source at the Optical
(or Toslink) connection.
Mute: This button will mute the
Nova.
1)
Volume + - : These buttons will
increase and decrease volume levels.
3)
USB: This button selects a digital
audio source at the USB connection.

between “standby” and On” . When
in standby the Nova draws very little
voltage. We recommend turning the
Nova off by leaving it in standby.
Tube: When engaged, this button

will bypass the tube in the preamp
circuit allowing f
or Solid State
performance.
