BasX PT1 and BasX TA1
BasX PT1 and BasX TA1 Display and Menu System
The BasX PT1 and TA1 feature 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, 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 PT1 or TA1 is turned on, it always returns to same Input and Volume setting as when it
was turned off. The only exception to this is that, as a safety feature, if the unit is turned off while
set to a very high Volume setting, it will restart at a maximum Volume level of 62. If you turn the
PT1 or TA1 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 unit on, the display will show a welcome message, then briefly display 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 that was shown.
The BasX PT1 and TA1 also have a Setup Menu, which is used to configure various system options,
like the brightness of the display, to configure and access the Tuner Presets, and to adjust the
Bass, Treble, and Balance settings. The Setup Menu is accessed by pressing and holding the
Volume knob on the front panel, or by pressing the Menu Button on the remote control. Pressing
the Volume knob briefly, or pressing the Mute button on the remote control, toggles the Mute
function on and off.
Note: THE SETUP MENU WILL OFFER DIFFERENT OPTIONS DEPENDING ON WHICH INPUT IS
SELECTED WHEN YOU ENTER THE MENU SYSTEM. TUNER OPTIONS will ONLY appear in the
Setup Menu if the Tuner Input is selected when you enter the Menu System.
