I've finally managed to get myself a 201 Mk 3 preamp form fleabay, and have already managed to buqqer things up. I`ve managed to lock up the display!

I was trying to unlock the Mode control. It`s a Mark 3 but I only have a manual for a Mark 1. Being a Mark 3, it has a slightly different set of keystrokes to those described in the Mk 1 manual, so I tried the “500 series” method which is to hold down the relevant keys and switch the power on and off at the rear.

Disaster!

The volume display shows “F” whichever input I select, and the volume control is maxed out and can`t be changed with the red buttons (nor from my 209 remote).

Have I destroyed the unit or is there a Magic Reset for the 201 Mk 3? or does anyone have a PDF of the manual they could send to me?

cheers

Chris
