(1) Peak meter ON/OFF
You can enable or disable the peak meter function for the left and right channels independently.
(2) VU meter reference (0 VU) level
You can set the reference level for the left and right channels indepen- dently.
(3) Threshold level of the peak over indicator
You can set the peak threshold level for the left and right channels independently.
(4) Internal battery type
You can set the battery type between alkaline or nickel hydride.
Parameter setting procedure

(2)While any parameter is flashing, press the [EDIT] key to select the flashing parameter.
Pressing the [EDIT] key selects the flashing parameter in the following order.
Lch “PK” | Lch “0VU” | Lch “OVR” |
BAT TYPE |
| Rch “PK” |
| Rch “OVR” | Rch “0VU” |
(3)While the desired parameter to be edited is flashing, you can select a desired value using the

Parameter details
Peak meter on/off
The meter display shows both VU and peak metering (de- fault).
The meter display shows only VU metering. The peak me- tering is not shown.
VU meter reference level
The default value is “0 dB”. You can select between “0 dB” and “+7 dB” in 1 dB steps.
<Example>: If you set the reference level to “+5”, the level at 0 VU is +5 dB higher than the refer- ence level.
<Memo>: It is recommended to change the reference level appropriately when an external audio device connected to the outputs of the unit has enough headroom. Normally, set it to “0”.
<Memo>: If you set the reference level other than “0”, “+” is lit beside the “0” position of the VU meter, showing that the 0 VU level is not the reference level.
