Programming Mode
Special functions, within the DLC, can be accessed by entering programming mode. In this mode
you can select the display mode (dB or linear), set the minimum and maximum attenuation
settings for each input and you can instruct the DLC to "skip" any unused inputs. You can also
set the brightness of the displays in both the minimum and maximum conditions. While in the
programming mode, the "Mute" key acts as an Enter key to save new settings. The "Select" key
moves to the next step.
1. To enter programming mode, remove power from the DLC, depress and hold down the
"Volume ^" button while pointing the remote control at the DLC and re-applying power. Keep
the button depressed until the DLC display shows the word "Prog", then release the button. Input
1 will be selected and both the "Operate" and "Mute" LEDs will be illuminated.
2. The display will alternately flash "96 dB" and "00 99". If you wish to remain in the "dB"
mode, wait until that is what is shown in the display, and then press "Mute", the displays will
now illuminate all the decimal points, indicating "9.6. d.B.". Now press "Select" to move to the
next programming option. If, however, you wish to utilize the linear 0 to 99 scale, wait until that
is what is shown in the display and press "Mute", the displays will now illuminate all the decimal
points, indicating "0.0.9.9.". Press "Select" to get to the next step.
Note: If you have changed the scale from dB to linear or linear to dB you must now exit program
mode to save this change, and then re-enter programming mode to activate it. Exit by pressing
the "Select" button until "End?" appears. Now press "Mute" and the DLC will go into operation
mode. Now go back to step #1 above to get back into programming mode, then press "Select" to
skip over step #2 to the next step.
3. The display will alternately flash "Lo" and "96" (or "00" if in linear mode, or your last
programmed minimum) indicating that the minimum volume allowable for Input number 1 is -96
dB. Change this value to your desired minimum with the "Volume" buttons, and adjust the
balance (if necessary) with the "Balance" buttons, and then press the "Mute" button.
4. The display will now alternately flash "Hi" and "96" (or "00" if in linear mode, or your last
programmed maximum) indicating that the maximum volume allowable for Input number 1 is -
96 dB. Change this value to your desired maximum with the "Volume" buttons, and adjust the
balance (if necessary) with the "Balance" buttons, and then press the "Mute" button again to
enter the settings.
5. The display will now alternately show "Lo" and your minimum setting. If you are happy
with the settings you have made, press the "Select" button to move on to Input 2. If you wish to
change your settings, simply repeat the above procedure. Remember to press "Mute" to enter
your changes, and "Select" to move on to the next Input. This procedure is repeated for each
Input.
6. If you have previously programmed your DLC but wish to change an existing setting, enter
programming mode and press the "Select" key to get to the input you wish to change, and then
use the "Volume", "Balance", and "Mute" buttons, as necessary, to make the desired changes.
7. If you wish, you can have the DLC skip an input (for example, successively pressing the
Select button will tell the DLC to go from Input 1 to Input 2 to Input 4, skipping Input 3). This is
accomplished by making the "Lo" and "Hi" settings equal. Utilizing the above procedure simply
set both levels to show the same numbers (they can be at "96", "45", "0", or anything else you
may wish...it doesn't matter as long as the "Hi" and "Lo" are equal).
