Display

The display on the front panel of the unit normally shows the VU and peak meters. You can select stereo or mono metering. The display also can show the status of inputs, outputs, etc., which you can edit. You can also adjust the display brightness to match the circumstance. For display-related operation, the following three keys are used.

<Memo>: In the following description, “press the key long enough” means “hold down the key for more than one second”.

Adjusting the display brightness

You can set the display brightness to match the circum- stance (by default, it is set to level 3).

The display brightness setting remains even after you turn off the unit. If you initialize the flash memory using the system status display, it is reset to the default setting (see page 20).

(1)Press the [ ] key long enough to enter the display brightness adjustment mode.

The brightness adjustment bar appears, showing the current brightness level.

<Note>: If you do not press any key for approximate- ly five seconds while the brightness adjustment bar is shown, the bar automatically disappears and the unit exits the display brightness adjustment mode.

(2)Press the [-] key to lower the brightness or press the [+] key to increase the brightness.

You can select from OFF and 1 through 5.

<Memo>: If you press the [+] key when the bright- ness is set to OFF, the display gets brighter.

<Note>: If you set the brightness level to any level between 1 through 5, the setting is stored to the flash memory. However, if you set it to OFF, the set- ting is not stored to the flash memory, and when you turn on the unit the next time, the display is shown at the brightness level that was set before entering the brightness setting mode last time.

(3)By pressing the [EDIT] key immediately after adjusting the brightness level, the brightness adjustment bar disappears and the unit exits the display brightness adjustment mode.

<Memo>: When the brightness adjustment bar is shown, pressing the [-] key long enough sets the brightness to OFF, while pressing the [+] key returns the brightness to the previous level before entering the brightness adjustment mode.

Turning off the display

When the brightness is set to any level lower than the maximum level, pressing the [+] key long enough directly sets the brightness to the maximum level.
