Model PD204 Owner’s manual <Version1.01 supplement>

Limiter parameter setting

• Limiter parameter setting for input channels 1 through 4 (Limiter CH-Input)

Highlight "Limiter CH-Input" in the SYS SETUP menu and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display now shows the screen for setting limiter parameters of the input chan-
nels, including grouping, threshold, ratio and level detection mode.

The limiter parameter setting function has been enhanced and you can now make limiter pa-
rameter setting for the input channels and stereo output busses individually.
With the earlier version, the "Limiter parameter" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the
MENU mode is provided to make limiter parameter setting for both the input channels and
stereo output busses simultaneously. With version 1.01, the "Limiter CH-Input" and "Limiter ST-
Out" menu items are provided instead of the "Limiter parameter" item.

<Before upgrade>

<After upgrade>

• Limiter parameter setting for stereo output busses (Limiter ST-Out)

Highlight "Limiter ST-Out" in the SYS SETUP menu and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display now shows the screen for setting limiter parameters of the stereo output
busses, including threshold, ratio and level detection mode.

Grouping setting (available only for "Limiter CH-Input")

You can select "Mono" or "1-4". (The default is "Mono".)

Mono

1-4

Each input channel limiter works independently according to each input signal level.

The limiters for channels 1 through 4 are grouped. All the channel limiters work together ac-
cording to the highest input level among channels 1 through 4. Therefore, when the limiters
work, all signals are compressed at the same ratio and the stereo position of each signal is
maintained.

<Note>: 

The limiters for stereo output busses L and R are always linked (grouped) so

there is no "Grouping" setting item.
