Remote Handset Functions
Display On / Off (The Red button on the upper left corner):
Each button press toggles between the 2 display modes. When the display led is on (display mode on)
the display stays on continuously. When the led is off (display mode off ) the display will be on while you are
using the pre-amp / remote functions and then after a short timeout the display turns off for dark listening.
Buffer Mode (The Black button on the upper right corner):
Pressing this button toggles the currently selected source between 'Normal' and 'Buffer' mode. The
current buffer mode is indicated via the source leds just above the source buttons. Normal mode is indicated by a
green led and 'Buffer Mode' is shown by the source's led turning orange. Note that there are 2 'stops' in buffer
mode. Both these are identical for now – the extra stop is included to allow a future buffer to be easily inserted
into your TAP-X.
Mute (center of volume/balance grid):
This button toggle between mute and normal volume modes. When the mute led is on the system is
muted. The mute will be canceled when the volume is adjusted by the remote handset or by the volume knob on
the front of the pre-amp.
Volume UP / Down ('+' and '-'):
The volume up and down buttons step the volume up or down 1 step (1db) per button press or if held
down continuously they continuously adjust volume.
Balance Left / Right ('<' and '>'):
The Balance Left / Right buttons step the volume levels to adjust the balance. This adjustment moves
the sound to the right or left side by 1 volume step per button press (or if held down continuously balance will
progressively move in the desired direction). A sliding / alternating balance is implemented where the level
adjustment to move balance alternates from left or right, etc... This way the overall volume level of the system is
maintained. Also you can slide balance over to one side and then slide it back to the original volume by pressing
the opposite balance button. If you hold the button down constantly while moving back towards center then the
balance will stop as it reaches center. This is handy when adjusting balance back to the middle point.
Source Select Buttons:
The buttons labeled '1' through '6' on the bottom portion of the remote handset directly access each of
the 6 source inputs on the TAP-X. These direct buttons (rather than next/prev) are used to make sure that macro
functions programmed into a (user supplied) advanced programmable handset function repeatably.
