Modes of operation
The
AZX
+ offers two primary modes of operation –
AUTO
and
MANUAL
– plus a
quick
RESET
facility:
Q
AUTO
mode
Press and rotate the
ADJUST
knob until the screen flashes the word ‘Auto’.
When you release the
ADJUST
knob, the central tracking light (in the far left
of the display) will flash and the unit will be in
AUTO
mode.
Q
MANUAL
mode
Press and rotate the
ADJUST
knob until the screen flashes the word ‘
USE
r’.
When you release the
ADJUST
knob the unit will be in
MANUAL
mode.
Q
RESET
Press and rotate the
ADJUST
knob until the screen flashes the word ‘
ZE
ro’.
When you release the
ADJUST
knob, the value in the
TIME SHIFTER
will be
reset to zero. The tracking mechanism will also be reset.
AUTO
mode
In
AUTO
mode, the
AZX
+ measures the offset between the channels and
automatically applies a compensating correction to the signal. It is not possible to
manually alter the amount of correction in
AUTO
mode. The central tracking light
flashes to indicate that
AUTO
mode is engaged.
MANUAL
mode
If you select the
MANUAL
mode you will be able to set manually the amount of time
correction applied to the signal, with a resolution of up to 1% of a sample. You do
this by rotating the
ADJUST
knob until the desired time shift is shown in the display.
Q
Coarse and fine adjustment
If, once in
MANUAL
mode, you press the
ADJUST
knob and then release it
without rotating it, you will toggle between the
COARSE
and
FINE
adjustment
modes. The
COARSE
and
FINE
indicators in the
TIME SHIFT
display will tell
you which mode you have selected.
In the
COARSE
mode you will shift the timing offset in steps of one sample.
In the
FINE
mode you will shift the timing offset in steps of one hundredth of
a sample (up to 9.99 samples) or one tenth of a sample (from 10.0 to 99.9
samples).
Note: An integer time shift is equivalent to using an editor to record your signal,
removing or inserting samples at the start of either the left or right channel, and
then playing back the file.
Q
Tracking lights (
MANUAL
mode)
When adjusting the time shift in
MANUAL
mode you may wish to monitor the
tracking lights on the far left of the
TIME SHIFT
display. These are telling you
whether the manually selected time shift is greater than, less than or equal
to that determined by the autotracking algorithm.
