sound configurations provided can be found on
pages 15 and 16.

Dial control with push function
The dial control is used to select menu items, spe-
cific parameters, and to adjust values. It controls
the overall volume of the system in its default
setting.
The push function of the dial control performs
several functions:
Ě
Calling up the main menu from the default
setting
Ě
Confirmation of selection and access to subme-
nus
Ě
Exiting submenus / value input
Ě
Confirmation of input - certain parameters, for
example configuration of speaker size, require
input confirmation in order to be accepted.

Return
While you are descending the menu structure of
the Decoderstation 5 using the push function of
the dial control, the return button is used to navi-
gate the next menu level up or to leave the entry
field without entering any new values.
For example, if you are equalising an individual
speaker, pressing Return once will take you to the
next menu up and pressing it twice will take you to
the main menu. Pressing Return several times lets
you quit the menu input and the Decoderstation 5
will return to its default display state.
E
Mute
Pressing the button once will mute the Decoder-
station 5. If you press it again the appliance will
return to the level previously selected. The mute
state is shown in the display of the Decodersta-
tion 5.
