Setup-mode
The settings on the mixer unit can be changed using the Setup mode. This applies in particular
to the settings w hich used to have to be made w ith jumpers on all modules. The great
advantage is, of course, that the user can make changes in the use of the console quickly
w ithout having to unscrew the modules.
The Setup mode is activated by pressing the very noticeable red SETUP button. The LED
under this button and the ON and OFF button on all modules start to flash. The LED in the AIR
button on the CR selector panel flashes. BUTTON START appears next to this in blue. This
indicates that those channels that must w ork w ith button start can now be set. Should a
channel w ork w ith button start? If so, press the ON button on the channel concerned. Press
the channel's OFF button if that channel should be set as fader start.
