once to return to the System Setup screen, or twice to display
the Meters screen. Alternatively, press the control knob to display the pop-up
Menu.
Quick Setup is finished, unless your country is required to meet ITU-R 412-7 require-
ments (see next step)
Note that Quick Setup only guides you through setting up the processing for the
analog FM output. To set up the HD output, see
About the 8600’s HD / Digital Radio
Processing on page 3-71 .
12. If you are required to meet the “multiplex power” limitations of ITU-R
412-7 in your country, activate the 8600’s ITU-R 412 controller.
[Skip this step if your country does not enforce ITU-R 412. At the time of this
writing, it is only enforced in certain European countries.]

B) Set the

HRESHOLD
to “0.0 dB.”
If your transmission system introduces overshoot in the signal path after
the 8600 (including the transmitter), instead set the
M
ULTIPLEX
P
OWER
T
HRESHOLD
so that it equals the amount of peak overshoot (in dB) in the
transmission system. If you do not do this, the 8600’s ITU-R 412 controller
will set the average multiplex power too low.
The easiest way to measure system overshoot is to turn the multiplex
power controller off temporarily. Then set the 8600’s output level, using
its built-in 400Hz reference tone, so that the transmitter produces
±
75
kHz deviation. Finally, play program material with lots of high frequency
energy and bass transients (like bright rock music with heavy kick drum)
and observe the peak deviation produced by the program material. The
overshoot is the amount (in dB) by which the deviation with program
material exceeds
±
75 kHz deviation.
If your country does not enforce ITU-R 412, the
M
ULTIPLEX
P
OWER
T
HRESHOLD
should be set to
OFF
.
Because the multiplex power controller sometimes uses the output of the
8600’s stereo encoder as its reference, set the
