If you dawdle or simply walk away, after 30 seconds of no fur-

ther knob activity the SOFIA 567 will enter a selection you have 

made into memory automatically, or simply ‘deselect’ the high-

lighted item with no changes if the setting has not been altered. 

The BACK 

Button 

BACK

  button 

B

  will  always  return  you  to  the  previous  menu  

screen.  Push it repeatedly to go back to the Main Menu shown 

in the illustration. 

If  you  make  a  mistake  (for  example,  you  might  

push

  the  knob  

slightly off-center, causing it to rotate and bring up the wrong 

menu), simply push the 

BACK

 button to return to the previous 

menu and try again.  

Graphic 

Display 

OLED  graphic  display  screen 

C

  presents  an abbreviated,  intui-

tive  setup  menu  tree  in  an  easy-to-follow  format.    The  display  

uses  a  screen  saver,  so  if  the  screen  goes  dim  or  dark,  simply  

push

  the  jog-wheel  knob  or  

BACK

  button  once  to  bring  the  

screen  back  to  life.    No  selection  or  change  is  made  with  this  

wakeup call. 

Local Alarms 

Front-panel  alarm  LEDs 

D

  indicate  critical  reception  errors.  

Programming the alarm thresholds and delays is accomplished 

through the Web interface as described starting on Page 21. 

  Level Meters 

LED-segment meters 

E

 are marked 

LEFT

 and 

RIGHT

, signifying 

the  two  ‘dual  mono’  program  audio  outputs  that  deliver  an  

identical  signal  to  both  output  connectors.    These  are  audio  

level indicators with 

peak

 

response

 to program dynamics. 

Please refer to Page 18 for a complete discussion of the audio 

level metering utility and its caveats. 

Menu Timeout 

and Screensaver 

After  making and saving  a setting,  you  may  press  the  

BACK

 

button to return to the Main Menu screen, or simply leave any 

current screen showing. 

A  programmed  interval  may  be  set  under  the  

Admin / Display

 

menu  to  adjust  screen  brightness  and  to  dim  or  turn  off  the  

OLED screen when the SOFIA 567 is unattended.  This is a rec-

ommended  practice  that  prolongs  the  life  of  the  display.    At  

any  time,  however  you  can  press  the  jog-wheel  knob  or  

BACK

 

button to wake the screen. 

THE FRONT-PANEL MENU TREE 

The several levels of front-panel setup and operating menus are 

laid  out  in  an  intuitive  and  easy-to-manage  fashion.    The  com-

plete Menu Tree is detailed below.  Keep in mind that the front-

panel Menu Tree is an abbreviated version of total SOFIA 567 

setup and operation navigation. 

Menu Titles

 are shown here in a font similar to the OLED display 

font.  Primary menu items are against the left margin and sub-

menu levels are indented appropriately.
