The Menu System
The menu system can be used to configure the éloquence to customise aspects of its operation to suit
your requirements, to operate in a particular type of installation, or to view important functional data.
Home Screen
The home screen provides easy access to the basic functions of the integrated amplifier: volume
control, input selection and mute. It also provides an easy to read and highly legible depiction of the
selected input and current volume setting.
Volume Control
Adjust the volume setting using the interface knob on the front panel (or using the remote control). The
display will show the volume level in decibels (dB). The maximum volume setting is +31.5dB, while
lower volume settings progress into the negative range with the minimum being -96.0dB.
Input Selection
Scroll through the available inputs using the
∧
/
∨
buttons on the front panel (or using the remote control).
Notes:
The labels for the inputs, as displayed on the front panel, can be customised for your conven-
ience (see Labels, page 19). Disabling an input (see Enable, page 20) removes it from selection by scroll-
ing from the front panel or remote control (although it is still available for selection via the menu system and
the remote control s-keys).
Mute
Mute the volume by pressing the MUTE button on the front panel (or using the remote control). The
mute mode is indicated by the volume level being replaced with MUTED in the display, which flashes
while mute mode is enabled.
If you increase the volume while mute is enabled, the mute mode will be cancelled and the volume will
increase from the muted level. This is a safety measure to avoid situations where the volume might be
increased while muted, only to have the system un-muted to an unexpectedly high volume.
When mute is cancelled, the volume level replaces MUTED in the display and stops flashing.
If you decrease the volume while attenuation is enabled, the volume level will reduce whilst remaining in
the attenuated mode. When mute is cancelled, the volume level will increase by the set attenuation level.
Notes:
If the mute level is set to a customised setting (see Mute Level, page 22) the volume level will
be attenuated by this amount when mute is enabled. The attenuated mode is indicated by the volume
level changing to the reduced level in the display, which flashes while attenuated.
