Lock

This is where to lock and unlock the interface with  

a secret 4-digit numeric password.

Locking –

 Push the speaker control knob to enter  

  lock mode. From here, rotate the speaker control  
  knob until the first number you desire is illuminated  
  and press to select. Follow the same procedure for  
  the next three numbers.

As seen below, we decided to go with 1-2-3-4 because  

  that’s (a “5” shy of) the same code that was used  
 on 

Spaceballs

. Notice how “lock” appears and is   

  illuminated. Push the knob again to confirm the lock.

No further changes may be made until the control  

  access is unlocked.

Unlocking –

 If you try to make any changes or select  

  anything, you will be routed directly to the lock   
  screen and the control access section. Here you  
  will need to re-enter the 4-digit code and push  
  the speaker control knob to unlock.

Secret Squirrel Unlock –

 If you – or worse, someone  

  else! – set up a 4-digit lock code and you don’t know  
  the passcode, there is a quick fix. Simply press and  
  hold down the speaker control knob down for a few  
  seconds and it will automatically unlock.

Del, of course, deletes the previous selected number 

in case you made an oopsie. This is available whether 
locking or unlocking.

Illuminating and selecting the left-facing arrow re-

turns you to the previous screen.

LCD

On the bottom-right is the LCD screen,  where  

you may change the settings for the screen saver  
and (mixer and menu) home screen.

After pushing the speaker control knob on the LCD 

screen, you will see something that looks like this:

The parameter on top is LCD brightness. Push the 

speaker control knob again to edit the brightness.  
There are three choices: low, high and off.

The brightness is controllable, but an  
overall screen brightness is required  
for certain aspects of the set-up options.

The next parameter that may be changed is the home 

screen. Here there are two choices: mixer and menu.
