20FRONT PANEL OPERATION

The P 7 uses an elegant and simple front panel interface. With only two buttons and one Volume/ Select knob you can control most P 7 features.

A soft blue glow surrounds the On-Off button when the P 7 is turned off. The P badge also glows faintly red. Push the On-Off button once to turn on the P 7. The blue glow and red P badge will become brighter. When the P 7 is turned on, the front panel display will also illuminate. Push the On-Off button again to turn it off.

Using the Multi-Function Volume/Select knob

By using the Select button in conjunction with the Volume/Select knob you can control many of the features of the P 7 from the front panel. In normal operation the Volume/Select Knob adjusts the volume level of the P 7. Each press of the Select button changes the function of the knob from volume adjust to become the selector for the next function. This is the order of the functions you can adjust:

Adjust Front/Rear Balance → Resume Volume Control

If the Volume/Select knob isn’t turned to make an adjustment within 5 seconds after pressing the Select button it will revert to controlling the volume level.
