Lighting level of peak over indicator
The default is “+18 dB”. You can select between “0 dB” and “+18 dB” in 1 dB steps.
<Memo>: When peak level exceeds the lighting level, “OVER” is lit on the stereo meter display, as pointed by an arrow in the stereo meter display example below left. On the meter status display, “0” is lit as pointed by an arrow in the display example below right.

When you use nickel hydride batteries, select this option.
<Note>: This setting allows the EMPTY indicator and the alert for battery exchange work correctly according to the battery type. When you operate the unit on internal battery power, this item should be set correctly. Battery life depends on the bat- tery type, battery condition and usage environment. It is rec- ommended to exchange batteries when the EMPTY indicator starts flashing.

System status display
On the system status display, not only you can see the following information, but also you can reset the time display and initialize the flash memory.
(1)Power voltage (EXT DC or INT DC)
This item shows the voltage of the current power source. When the [POWER] switch is set to “INT”, this item shows “INT DC” and the voltage of the internal batteries.
When the [POWER] switch is set to “EXT”, it shows “EXT DC” and the voltage of the external power source.
(2)Temperature inside the unit (TEMP)
This item shows the temperature inside the unit.
The temperature significantly affects the battery performance.
Generally, in a low temperature environment, the battery life of primary battery (e.g. alkaline) gets shorter.
(3)Power-on time
This item shows the elapsed time since the unit is powered on. The time display is running in realtime.
<Memo>: By pressing the [EDIT] key long enough while the system status display is shown, you can reset this item to “00h00m00s”.
(4)Firmware version
This item shows the firmware version of the unit.
Initializing the flash memory
You can initialize the flash memory to the condition when the unit is shipped from the factory. To initialize the flash mem- ory, press and hold down the [EDIT] key for 10 seconds or more while the system status display is shown.
When the memory initialization is completed, the system status display is dismissed and the display shows the stereo VU meter display.
