Mute

 

 

Menu Set

The Mute button is dual function – on its own (blue type on the front panel), it mutes and unmutes the analogue outputs when the unit is locked to a source. With the other menu buttons (white type on the front panel) it is the menu Set button.

The analogue outputs are automatically muted at power up and remain so until

 

lock is achieved, as indicated by the LED above the Mute switch. If “A-Cut”,

 

page 22, is turned on, the unit will mute automatically if the source data is

 

identified as non-audio.

 

For Menu operation as the

 

button, see “The Software – the Menu” on

Menu Down

The Phase button is triple function – on its own (blue type on the front panel), it reverses the phase of the analogue outputs. If the “Panel” option, page 27, is set to Volume, it functions as the Volume down button. With the other menu buttons (white type on the front panel) it is the menu Down button.

The left hand LED above the Phase button lights if CH1(L) outputs are inverted, the right hand LED lights if CH2(R) outputs are inverted. Pressing the Phase button toggles both channels between absolute and inverted phase. Holding the button down causes the unit to cycle through the following sequence:

The De-Emphasisbutton is also triple function – on its own (blue type on the

 

front panel), it sets the De-Emphasis characteristic. If the “Panel” option, page

 

27, is set to Volume, it functions as the Volume up button. With the other menu

 

buttons (

type on the front panel) it is the menu

button.

 

De-Emphasis is available for 32, 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates only.

 

Pressing the button repeatedly causes the single digit Mode display to the

 

right of the button to cycle through the following options:
