When you make an audio output level change, the setting
is changed in the receiver. It reports the changes to the
transmitter via the optional Optical 2 cable.
If you are connected to either of the transmitter's serial
ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected in your
system, the program cannot report the output audio level
in the control program's Audio Adjustment area. You
can change the level, but the program cannot report
the changes. The program shows the
Set Consumer
(or
Professional
)
level
message to indicate that the
output level command is control only, not and indication
(figure 4-7). The message is displayed for approximately
1 second.
