on each digital audio output. If you press again on the “PINK NOISE” key, the pink noise 
will  be  generated  to  only  one  output.  Each time  you  press  on the “PINK  NOISE” key, the 
pink noise will change of output as described below:

end of 20 sec the pink noise is automatically cancelled. 
 
 
INPUT SOURCE SELECTION 
The 1 to 14 keys are selecting the source to listen. Digital inputs are numbered from 1 to 8. 
Analog Inputs are numbered from 9 to 14. 
 
 
OUTPUT AUDIO FORMAT SELECTION 
Depending  on  the  capabilities  of  the  sources  you  have  selected  to  listen,  several  audio 
formats may be accessible for the output. 
Each time you press on the “FORMAT” key, you change the audio format of the outputs to 
one of bellow if permissible: 
 

G2 (2.0-channel)

Direct 

 
The format selected is shown on the front panel by Led. 
 
 

Note:  
 
The  Direct  format  allows  to  send  the  input 
selected  to  the  “Direct  Out”  cinch  without 
attenuation. Only the digital input 1 to 6 and the 
analog  (2-channel)  input  can  be  sent  to  the 
Direct  output.  When  the  format  “Direct”  is 
activated,  the  standards  outputs  of  the
