10: FM dual-stream on SPS 

13: FM hybrid/all digital single-stream 
Split Mode:

  allows  the  user  to  make  a  rough  audible  

check of timing synchronism between the analog FM and 

digital HD1 program channels.  This is normally set 

Off

, but 

can be turned 

On

 to route a monaural version of the HD1 

program  to  the  left  audio  channel,  and  monaural  FM  pro-

gramming to the right channel.  FM and HD Radio audio lev-

els may be compared with the LCD level meter as well in 

this mode.  After using this utility, be sure to turn it back 

Off

 to ensure proper operation of the INOmini 639. 

De-Emph:

  displays  the  current  setting  for  FM  program  au-

dio de-emphasis.  

75us

 (75 microseconds) is used in the 

Western Hemisphere, and 

50us

  for  the  rest  of  the  world.    

Push and turn the knob to change this selection. 
Highlight and enter

 Region

 to load the proper list of pre-

defined  RDS  PTY  classifications.    Set  this  to  

NA RBDS

 for 

North America, or 

EU RDS

 for Europe and most of the rest 

of the world.  If you operating outside of the US, Canada or 

the European Union, consult the appropriate Radio Authori-

ty to verify a proper choice. 
The three rear-panel alarm tallies are NPN transistors that 

normally saturate to ground for the 

C

 (Carrier loss) 

D

 (HD 

Radio  Digital loss) and 

A

 (Audio loss) rear-panel alarm tal-

lies.  This is the default setting: a ground on the rear-panel 

connector when the alarms are active.  

Alarm Polarity:

 

may be reversed, however, so that the terminal will normal-

ly sit at ground and go open for an alarm.  Push the knob to 

cycle through the three alarms and set the polarity accord-

ingly.  For example: 

A:G

 gives a ground when audio is lost; 

A:O

 an open-circuit for dead air. 

The 

Load Defaults?

 Menu screen will reboot the INOmini 

639 and reset all setup choices to factory-default values.  

Push and turn the knob to bring up 

Yes

 on the second line, 

and push the knob again to complete the task. 
If you are in a hidden menu that can be edited, you must 

navigate back to the first, 

639 Firmware

 screen and push 

the knob to exit the hidden menu area.
