BasX PT-100 VFD Display And Menu System
The BasX PT-100 has a large, bright, easy to read VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) which keeps
you informed of the current status at all times.
In normal operation, this display shows the currently selected Input.
When you change the Volume setting on the PT-100, the display switches to display the Volume
setting for several seconds, then returns to showing the currently selected Input. The display
also sometimes momentarily displays other useful information - like the sample rate of the signal
coming into a digital input when you select it.
When the PT-100 is turned on, it always returns to same Input and Volume setting as when it was
turned off. If you turn the PT-100 off while it’s in the Setup Menu, when you turn it on it will start
up in normal operating mode.
When you turn the PT-100 on, the display will show a welcome message, then the name of the
Input that’s selected, and then the Volume setting that was current when the unit was turned off.
The Volume setting will then return to zero and ramp up to the previous Volume setting. You can
interrupt the Volume ramp-up at the current setting by turning the Volume knob or pressing the
Up or Down button on the remote control.
The BasX PT-100 also has a Setup Menu. The Setup Menu is used to configure various system
options, like the brightness of the display, to configure and access the Tuner Presets, and to adjust
the Trims (Bass, Treble, and Balance). The Setup Menu is accessed by pressing the Volume knob on
the PT-100’s front panel, or by pressing the Menu Button on the remote control.
When the Setup Menu is engaged, the Volume knob and Input Buttons are used to navigate the
various menu functions. The PT-100 will automatically exit the Setup Menu after several seconds
of inactivity. You can also exit the Setup Menu by pressing the Volume knob or the Menu button
again, or by pressing the Left Input Button several times.
Note: The remote control used by the PT-100 is compatible with the remote control used by the
BasX TA-100, and by our flagship XMC-1 preamp / processor. Both the TA-100 and the
PT-100 have the same control options. The PT-100 remote will only access some of the features
on the XMC-1, and buttons on the XMC-1 remote that have no corresponding feature on the
TA-100 will be ignored.
