Mute function 

 

Fade Down/Fade Up function 
 
Input source selection  1 through 5 
 
Phase switch 
 
Function switch 
 
Display/POWER switch. 

 

 

The following describes these functions. 
 
 
Volume Up and Down 
 
These two buttons are programmed with variable speed volume change profiles.  The rate of 
volume change will be slow upon initial pressing of the Volume Up or Down buttons.  Holding the 
button depressed will cause the rate of change to accelerate, allowing for more flexible control 
when large changes in volume are required. 
 
 
Mute  
 
Pressing this button will cause the MUTE function in the VK-20 to toggle between ON and OFF 
states.  The Mute LED on the VK-20 front panel will reflect the status of the Mute circuit. 
 
 
Fade 
 
Pressing the FADE button on the VK-R3 remote control will cause the volume to smoothly decay 
over the period of several seconds.  This allows for a gradual reduction in volume, as opposed to 
the instantaneous MUTE function.  This can be particularly useful during the presentation or 
demonstration of your equipment.  When the FADE button is pressed, the volume will go down all 
the way to zero (000 on display, unit in Mute). 
 
Pressing the Fade button again will cause the volume to ramp back up to its initial value. 
 
 
 
INPUT SELECT: 
 
Pressing any input selection button on the VK-R3 remote control will switch the VK-20 to that 
input.  All of the set parameters associated with that input will be loaded at this point. 
 
 
DISPLAY/POWER switch.
