SETUP AND OPERATION

NAVIGATING THE MENU AND SELECTING OPTIONS

The right-hand side of the LCD display shows

SETUP AND STATUS

and the left-hand side shows the processing gain state for

COM-

PRESSION AND LIMITING

and

AGC GAIN

when these functions are

enabled. When a specific LCD-screen item is discussed in the man-

ual text, it will be defined by using this font:

MENU ITEM

Front-Panel

Buttons

All processing adjustments and metering functions of the Model 261

use the four front-panel pushbuttons in concert with the LCD menu

screen. Up/down

and

buttons scroll among menu

screens to show what is available for selection or adjustment. Any

user-selectable/adjustable function is indicated on the LCD screen

by a right-facing arrow:

. The left/right

and

SEL

(select) but-

tons are then used to make changes in that menu item. Any

changes made are automatically held in non-volatile memory, which

means that the 261 will return to an as left condition following a

power interruption.

Panel Lockout

Switch

Because the

and

buttons make actual (and audible) changes in

the operation of the processor, a switch is provided to lock these

buttons out. This switch is located on the rear panel and is labeled

FRONT PANEL

, with

UNLOCK

and

LOCKED

positions. When the

switch is in the

LOCKED

position,

and

buttons do not function,

although the menu may still be scrolled with

and

INITIAL POWER-ON AND SETUP

Splash Screen

When power is first applied to the 261, an information screen is dis-

played for about 3 seconds. Holding down any one front-panel but-

ton during power-up will hold this screen for extended viewing.

This splash screen identifies the product and shows the version of

firmware installed. Firmware is updated in the field by replacing an

EEPROM memory chip; more about this on Page 24.

Alarms

Certain conditions of the program input signal will initiate flashing

front-panel indications and rear-panel tally logic outputs. These

alarms will be addressed in the appropriate discussions of processing

functions. However, the

PROGRAM AUDIO LOSS

alarm needs to be

mentioned here, as it will appear with no program input connected.
