4 – The front panel

YDP2006

The front panel

From left to right, the controls on the front panel are:

1

INPUT LEVEL

– two concentric rotary controls (inner control is left channel) to adjust the
level of the signal fed into the YDP2006.

2

Level meters – L and R

– These meters come after the A-D convertors in the signal chain.
A “CLIP” indication therefore indicates digital distortion, and the input levels should be
adjusted so that the “CLIP” indicators never light.

3

Memory

– this 2-digit LED indicator shows the current memory area.

4

Screen

– this 56 x 128 pixel display gives a graphic representation of the current equal-
ization settings. It is also used to display other settings which you can edit using the
front panel controls.

5

Rotary encoders

– the

F

,

G

and

Q

controls are used primarily for setting the Frequency,
Gain and Q of equalization bands. When editing utility settings, they may also be used
for editing data.

6

PEQ/NOTCH selectors and indicators

– When the PEQ key

8

is lit, the selectors are used
to select a band from PEQ 1–6 (or either MONO.L 1–6, or MONO.R 1-6 when in mono
mode).
When the NOTCH key

9

is lit, they are used to select a band among notches 1–4, and
the HPF and LPF filters or, when in mono mode, MONO.L (1–4 and HPF and LPF) or
MONO.R (1-4).
The indicators show the status of the various bands/filters, and light when the corre-
sponding band/filter is on.

7

MEMORY keys

– the
[STORE]

,
[RECALL]

,
[^]

and
[%]

keys are used to read and write settings
stored in the 40 memory areas.

8

PEQ key – pressing this key will show the parameters for the parametric equalizer (in
either graphic or numerical form), and enable the PEQ selectors. The indicators will
show the on/off status of the parametric bands.
9NOTCH key – pressing this key will show the parameters for the notch filters (in either
graphic or numerical form), and enable the NOTCH selectors and indicators.
0UTILITY key – pressing this key will cycle through a range of screens, allowing you to set
up various system parameters for the unit.
A[L/<] and [R/>] keys – you can make equalization settings for the left and right channels
independently. These keys allow you to select which channel you are editing. By press-
ing one of these keys, holding it down, and then pressing the other, you can edit the
parameters of both channels simultaneously.
BBYPASS key – when pressed, the signal fed into the unit will bypass the internal circuitry,
and will be re-output “as is”.
