CONTROL ELEMENTS

FORMAT CHANGER advanced Front Panel

1

 POWER

This red LED lights up when the unit is switched on with the rear-panel 
POWER switch (on condition that the adjusted voltage matches your local 
voltage).

2

 DATA

Use this key to select a function from a specific functional area.

3

 SELECT

This key selects one of three functional areas available.

4

 AUDIO INPUT

This is the first functional area. Here, you can select one of the three audio 
inputs whose audio signal will be processed. Use option #4 in this area to 
mute all outputs (TEST MUTE).

5

 SYNC SOURCE

This is the second functional area, which allows you to determine the active 
status of the sampling rate converter and/or its clock source. You can select 
an internal or external clock, or hard-BYPASS the sampling rate converter 
to allow for the conversion of signal formats only.

6

 OUTPUT FREQ(UENCY)

The third functional area controls the output sampling rate applied to the 
output copy of the incoming audio signal. This functional area is available 
exclusively in INTERNAL SYNC mode.

7

 STATUS

This is no real functional area but indicates various device statuses by means 
of status LEDs.

8

 AUDIO + SYNC INPUT FREQ(UENCY)

Here, the display reads in real time either the sampling rate of the signal 
present on the selected audio input or the frequency of the external clock 
signal.

9

 SCMS

This area allows you to monitor the status of the incoming audio signal 
with regard to any SCMS copy bits it may contain.

10

 SCMS

Use this key to manually remove SCMS copy bits from the incoming S/PDIF 
audio signal or add such data to the outgoing S/PDIF audio signal.

Refer to the OPERATIONS chapter for more 
information.
