FRONT PANEL

1.LCD

The 2x20 backlit LCD displays the program and programming choices of the unit.

2.<Back/Next>

These buttons allow navigation for selection of sub-menus and some parameter values.

3.Menu

This is one of two buttons that will access the front panel programming. This one is used primarily to select which program to call up, edit or save.

4.Gain

This is one of two buttons that will access the front panel programming. This, along with the <Back/Next> buttons, accesses the various parameters of a program.

5.Quit

This exits the programming menu and returns the display to showing the selected pro- gram.

6.Enter

Hitting this button will write the current selection to memory.

7.Param

This acts as the value selection dial when selecting certain parameters or values for cer- tain parameters (such as Gain). It is both a dial and a button. DO NOT PRESS IN WHEN ROTATING OR THE VALUES MAY NOT TRACK CORRECTLY.

8.Meters

These display the respective input and output levels of the device. The seven LED seg- ments per display are in 6 dB steps from –30dbV to –6dBV, then -3dBV, then Limit (0dBV), then Clip (+8 dBV)

9.Mute

Pressing one of these buttons will mute the respective Output channel and the LED will illuminate. All outputs will mute automatically during certain program selection and edit- ing processes, to protect the loudspeakers.

10.Power

This turns the power to the unit On and Off. Remember to always turn power amps on last after everything else and turn them off first, before everything else.
