12.2. How the Chime Tone Is Used

12.2.1. Chime tone for Inputs 1 – 3

•Either MIC (factory-preset) or LINE input signal level can be set for each input. Setting switch: SETTINGS switches No. 6 – 8 on the unit's rear panel.

•When the input is set for MIC level and the input source with Priority 1 or 2 is broadcast by remote control (CTRL IN 1, 2, 3*), a chime tone is automatically sounded when the broadcast is started (and completed).

•When input 1 or 2 is set for LINE level, a chime tone is not sounded when the corresponding source is broadcast.

•When Input 3 is set for LINE level and the input source with Priority 1 or 2 is broadcast by remote control (CTRL IN 3*), a chime tone can be made to sound or not to sound when the broadcast is started (and completed).

Setting switch: The unit's internal SW3-No. 4 switch "Input 3 (LINE) Chime ON/OFF" (Factory-preset position: Chime OFF)

*The CTRL IN 1, 2, or 3 control input corresponds to the Input 1, 2, or 3, respectively.
