When the front panel is in bargraph mode, the jog-wheel is used to select between various pages of bargraphs
that can be displayed. Push the push-button located to the left of the jog-wheel to change to bargraph mode.
Rotating the jog wheel counter-clockwise moves left one page and rotating clockwise moves right. The pages
do not wrap around from beginning to end or vice-versa. Rotating the wheel CCW will always eventually bring
up the I/O meter page and remain there.
Main Menu Orientation
When the processor is first turned on, several start-up screens are displayed. After ten to fifteen seconds the
Omnia-3 Main Menu is displayed with a sliding
menu bar
along the right side of the screen to indicate your
position within the menu hierarchy. A multipurpose help line is located at the bottom of the display.
OMNIA.FM3turbo
Audio Processing

Preset: Rock 2:09PM
Note:
After a time-out, the help line will cycle through: the current preset name, the status of dayparts, and the
day and date. The time is displayed at the right side.
The menu system has been designed to be intuitive and simple to use, with a minimum of sub-menu layers.
Most operating parameters are found less than three sub-menus deep. This allows multiple processing changes
to be made “on-the-fly” with relative ease. The complete system is managed through the four menu choices on
the Main Menu. They are:
Audio Processing
,
Input & Output
,
Display
and
Utilit
y.
A fifth sub-menu,
Stereo
Generator
, is added for the Omnia-3fm Turbo style.
The
Audio Processing
menu item is shown highlighted in the Main Menu Items illustration. The highlighting is
controlled by the jog-wheel. Rotate the jog-wheel CW to step the highlighting down through the menu items.
When the desired menu item is reached, press the jog-wheel once (“click”) to select that item. If the item has
sub-menus (like
Audio Processing
), then the sub-menu choices will be displayed. If the menu item is a
parameter selection, then the parameter choices or a bargraph value indicator is displayed. Rotating the jog-
wheel steps through the choices and raises (when rotated CW) or lowers (when rotated CCW) the parameter
value. Click the jog-wheel to select the parameter.
When a sub-menu is displayed, the top menu item will always be the return arrow. Highlight the return arrow
and then “click” to move back to the next higher menu.
User Interface Tutorial
The following two exercises are a useful introduction to the user interface. They also show you how to select an
input source and set input levels, which are among the first things that need to be done to set-up the processor.
Start from the top of the Main Menu (as displayed when the unit is first turned on).
The first exercise demonstrates how to make a parameter selection:
1.
Rotate the jog-wheel to highlight
Input & Output
.
2.
Select this menu item by “clicking” the jog-wheel (push once on the jog-wheel). The
Input & Output
sub-menu is presented:
