To Control Volume, To Control Bass or Treble

Quick Start

To Control Volume

Note: Changing any of the volume, bass or treble levels will effect all inputs associated with that amp/channel channel. Turning up the volume for the current amp/channel will cause other inputs assigned to that amp/channel to play louder when they become active. Likewise for bass and treble.

Be sure VOL is the current control (this is the normal default function). If BASS or TREB are lit, press the VOL button. Its indicator will light brightly and the volume level is displayed on the LED pointer.

Press the arrow buttons on either side of the pointer (left to decrease, right to increase).

	The display shows A1 (the active amp/chan-	A1/VOL-10
	nel), VOL, and a 2-digit volume level number	A1/VOL-10
	nel), VOL, and a 2-digit volume level number
	(00-25). The number (and pointer) changes
	in response to the arrow buttons.
	After 5 seconds of no adjustment, the control
	panel display will again show the current
	input (VOL remains the current control and can
	be adjusted at any time simply by pressing an
	arrow key).

To Control Bass or Treble.

Select the desired function by pressing the BASS or TREB button – its indicator lights. The display shows BASS (or TREB), the current active amp/channel (A1) and a 1-digit level

number (-7to+7). The pointer shows the approximate level.

Press the arrow buttons on either side of the pointer. The number on the display changes in response to the arrow buttons.

After 5 seconds of no adjustment, the amplifier display will again show the current input and VOL will again become the current function.
