Setup/Configuration Screen

SETUP:

Selecting this button takes you to the preset configuration page. The VSX™ is pre-programmed with fourteen configuration templates representing the most frequently used crossover possibilities. As you scroll through the configuration presets you will see and can adjust the basic filter types (only symmetrical choices may be made here). Center frequencies of those filters and a graphic representation of the filters will be displayed. You must enter “OK” to accept the selection. Selecting and pressing Exit or pressing the Setup button will return you to the main screen. Upon returning to the main screen you will see the graphic representation of your selection.

OUTPUT 1-8:

Output levels may be adjusted on this page. Press “done” or push the setup button to return to the main screen.

EQ Screen

Inputs or outputs should be selected on the top of the screen. While on the top of the screen push the data wheel and an arrow appears. Rotate the wheel to select which input or output you wish to adjust.

Parametric EQs on inputs:

Inputs A thru D display a graphical representation of the six parametric EQs that are available on each input.

BW: Bandwidth (in oct.)

F:Frequency being adjusted.

LVl: Level control. After selecting a frequency, rotating the data wheel allows boosting or cutting the amplitude of the selected frequency +/- 15 dB in .5 dB increments.

Tip: Pressing the EQ button is a short cut to return to the top of the screen.
