Foreword
NOTE
For more information on your Control Panel, refer to the owner’s
manual that came with the Control Panel, as well as the DME
Designer Owner’s Manual.
Be sure to turn all devices OFF before connecting AC
mains power.
To prevent the initial power-on surge from generating a
large noise spike or damaging your speaker system, turn
the devices on in the following order: audio sources, mixer
(such as M7CL or PM5D), DME Satellite, and finally
power amplifiers.
Reverse this order when turning power off.
NOTE
The DME Satellite remembers scene settings when you turn off
the power.
When you turn on the power to the DME Satellite, it will start up
with the same scene settings.
You can use the “Last Mem. Resume” setting in DME Designer
to set up the DME Satellite so that at the startup it will recall the
scene selected before you turned off the power to the device.
•Do NOT turn off the power to the DME Satellite while
it is receiving data from DME Designer or while it is
being manipulated from an external device. Otherwise,
a malfunction may occur.
•Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is
still flowing to the product all the minimum level.
When you are not using the product for a long time,
make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC
outlet.
