The left meter has two functions. When you touch the tuning dial it automatically switches to the second function--Normalut when I touch the tuner dial knob they go flat--or at least the left one does.

The AM/FM is still active as far as the meters and LED's go.Even when AUX, PHONO or TAPE inputs are selected. --NormalWhen I have the meter selector button set to Level, with the input source a CD player in through Aux, the tuning meter still operates at the same time as though the FM is working (and the red lights on the right flicker if it's on a station whose signal is fluctuating). In other words,
The owners manual covers this.
Probably some crazy old fart.As one wise man put it, "We are men ! We don't need no stink'n manuals. ...... Well.. Maybe we do."
I was hoping you weren't going to say that. I don't have a signal generator or dummy loads. I do have a Fluke 115, but I don't think that's enough to get the job done here.You need and 1 khz audio signal generator (OSC) connected to the AUX input . And 8 Ω dummy load and a means to measure 10 watts at the speaker out binding post. Adjust the generator to the 10 watt output at the binding post. then make the VR 902 and 903 adjustments for both channels so the meter points to 10 watt mark on the power meters. ..
Nope..I don't think that's enough to get the job done here.
The 2040 is my favorite. The only downside I can think of is no provision for decoupling.
The ability to separate the pre-amp from the power amps as in pre-out/main-in with a decoupler/coupler switch.What is decoupling?
Stand alone phono pre-amp into one of the tape inputs.I like to run two turntables into my amps: one with a good stylus and another with one to not worry so much about for rough/untested records.
I've had mine for years.
Only turn off is the fake wood cover whatever they used is crap.
Congrats...
Then what are the pre-out jacks for? Are they only half of what you're talking about (i.e., lacking main-in jacks)?The ability to separate the pre-amp from the power amps as in pre-out/main-in with a decoupler/coupler switch.
