The following describes these functions.
Volume Up and Down
These two buttons are programmed with variable speed volume change profiles. The rate of
volume change will be slow upon initial pressing of the Volume [UP] or [DOWN] buttons.
Holding the button depressed will cause the rate of change to accelerate, allowing for more flexible
control when large changes in volume are required.
Mute
Pressing this button will cause the MUTE function in the preamplifier to toggle between ON and
OFF states. The Mute LED on the preamplifier display will reflect the status of the Mute circuit.
Fade
Pressing the FADE button on the VK-R2 remote control will cause the volume to smoothly decay
over the period of several seconds. This allows for a gradual reduction in volume, as opposed to
the instantaneous MUTE function. This can be particularly useful during the presentation or
demonstration of your equipment. When the [FADE] button is pressed, the volume will go down
all the way to zero (00 on display, unit in Mute).
Pressing the Fade button again will cause the volume to ramp up and return to its initial value.
