Switching the level meter display type

With the MRS-1044's default settings, the level meters displayed in the center of the screen will indicate the level of the signals that have passed through the [REC LEVEL] controls/faders (post-fader). If necessary, however, you can switch the meters so that they indicate the level of the signals before they pass through the [REC LEVEL] controls/faders (pre-fader).

1.In the main screen, press the [PROJECT/UTILITY] key.

The display will indicate "PROJECT."

2.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display read "UTILITY SYSTEM," and press the [ENTER] key.

3.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display read "UTILITY LVL MET," and press the [ENTER] key.

4.Turn the dial to change the setting to "PRE" (pre- fader).

To return the setting to post-fader, select "POST."

5.Press the [EXIT] key several times.

You will return to the main screen.
