well  as  a  little  square  next  to  the  corresponding  number  of  the  output. 
„On“  or  „off“  indicate  whether  the  output  is  active  or  not.  This  is  also 
reflected  in  the  little  squares,  where  a  dot  in  the  middle  indicates  an 
active output.

 

• 

Turning  the  volume  knob  by  one  click,  you  can  change  the  output  to 
„on“  (active)  or  „off“  (deactivated).  Briefly  pushing  the  volume  knob  will 
take you one level back, and in the display you will see the preset name 
again with its current settings. These changes are also temporary, i.e. will 
only be effective until the unit is turned off and back on again.

 

 

4  Extended functions 

4.1 

Programming a new preset (or reprogramming an existing one) 

 

• 

This section describes how to programme one of the 20 preset slots, i.e. 
give a preset name and select the desired master volume and outputs. In 
the same fashion, existing presets can be reprogrammed (as opposed to 
the temporary changes described in section 3.3). 

• 

First, turn the unit off with the main on/off switch in the back. 

• 

Then,  turn  the  unit  back  on,  while  pushing  both  the  volume  und  preset 
knobs  at  the  same  time.  Keep  the  knobs  pushed  until  the  parameter 
menu  appears  (see  below).  The  four  items  „preset“,  „parameters“, 
„config“, and „service“ appear. 

• 

Briefly  push  the  preset  knob.  The  first  preset  will  appear  („preset  1“  in 
case no preset name has been given so far). 

• 

In case you wish to choose a different preset slot, briefly push the volume 
knob twice. That way you move back to the main menu and can chose a 
different preset by pushing and turning the preset knob. 

• 

A yet unused preset slot can be identified by the fact that it does not yet 
have given preset name, but merely „preset“ and a number (e. g. „preset 
12“). 

• 

Briefly  push  both  knobs  at  the  same  time.  Again  the  parameter  menu 
shows up. 

• 

Push  the  preset  knob.  Now  you  can  determine  the  preset  name.  The 
cursor will blink under the first character. 

• 

By  turning  the  volume  knob,  the  following  letters,  numbers,  and  special 
characters will appear in this order: A-Z, Ä, Ö, Ü, a-z, ä, ö, ü, 0-9, space, ! 
„ # $ % & ’ ( ) * + , - . / 

• 

Pushing the preset knob will confirm the current character und move the 
cursor one position to the right. Now you can set the next character. 

• 

Wenn  you’ve filled in the preset name, turn the preset knob one click to 
the  right  to  now  determine  the  master  volume  for  this  preset.  Set  the 
value by turning the volume knob. The values range from 0 to 100%. The 
corresponing value in dB is given in brackets. 

• 

Now  turn  the  preset  knob  again  one  click  to  the  right  in  order  to 
determine the outputs for this preset.
