1) Internal speakers

2) LED level meters

These meters show the input levels of digital or
analog input signals.

3) Status information section

This section indicates the status of the [CH SEL]
key and [INPUT] switch, as well as mute on/off
status. See page 6 for details.

When the [INPUT]
switch is set to
DIGITAL

The levels of analog input signals
are shown by VU metering.
The peak value is hold.

The levels of digital input signals
are shown by peak metering.
The peak value is hold for three
seconds.

4) [INPUT] (input select) switch

This switch selects the input signal between
analog and digital.

ANALOG

 )

You can monitor the digital signal received
via the [DIGITAL INPUT] connectors.
When the unit receives a correct digital
signal and works correctly, the "DIGITAL"
indicator in the status information section
lights. When the unit does not receive a
correct digital signal or does not work cor-
rectly, the "DIGITAL" indicator flashes.

DIGITAL

 )

You can monitor the analog signals re-
ceived via the [ANALOG INPUT] connec-
tors.

When the [INPUT]
switch is set to
ANALOG

<Notes>: 

When switching the input signal (be-

tween analog and digital), the system mute
function works and unit is automatically
muted for a while (the [MUTE] indicator
lights). This prevents the noise from being
generated from the speaker units when
switching the signal. Muting is automatically
released after a few seconds.
See page 6 for details about the system mute
function.

After turning on the power

Each time you turn on the power, the RM-2 is muted and the "MUTE" indicator flashes. (Figure 1 below
shows the condition of the status information section when you first turn on the power after purchas-
ing the RM-2.)
To use the RM-2, therefore, press the [CH SEL] key to unmute the RM-2 (see Figure 2 below).
The "MUTE" indicator turns off.  In particular conditions, the system mute function works and the RM-
2 is automatically muted, while you can manually mute it whenever you want. See page 6 for details.
