Parameter Definitions:
Every input of the VK-33SE is defined with the following set of parameters.
1. Input name (Examples include CD1, DVD1, PH-1, VKD5, or any other
combination of up to four characters including the Latin, Cyrillic and Greek
alphabet as well as digits)
2. Balance adjustment – gain shifted Left or Right.
3. Volume offset relative to any other input (to compensate for gross
differences in various sources levels)
4. Phase: Inverting, Non-inverting or Last configuration
5. Stereo, Mono or Last configuration
6. Maximum allowable volume setting for a particular input. This is a
convenient safety feature in some instances.
7. Display mode. This allows the user to switch the volume display to operate
in any of the three modes: relative Counts, DBU (Decibels referenced to
Unity gain) or DBM (Decibels referenced to Maximum gain).
8. Fixed volume mode: this allows any input to be set with a preferred fixed
volume setting, and is usable, for example, in Audio/Video installations.
With this flexibility it is possible, for example, to set the CD input to be Stereo
and Non-Inverting, while the Phono input would be Mono and Inverting.
PROGRAMMING THE VK-33SE
NOTE: It is important to note here that all the functions described
below are accessible either through the front panel controls or via the
VK-R3 remote control. Therefore, functions like BALANCE, PHASE,
MONO, etc. all can be performed by using the Function button on the
remote control in conjunction with the Volume Up/Down buttons.
BALANCE Adjustment.
Pressing the Function button once will invoke the Balance adjustment mode.
When in this mode, turn the volume control knob (or press the Volume Up/Down
buttons on the VK-R3 remote control) to set the balance to the desired position.
An L or R character will appear indicating that the balance is now shifted in the
corresponding direction.
