-11-
selected channel can then be
changed using the Adjustment
+/– buttons (11). Levels set in
one mode will stay valid for all
other modes and are not inde-
pendent. Please note that the
status-bar indicator (27) will
not display unless Adjustment
+/– buttons are pressed. And,
while the status-bar indicator
(27) is on, channel indicators
(28) and LVL (29) will not be
displayed. Also, if adjustments
are done in a mode where a
certain channel is not available,
the adjustment step for that
channel is skipped. For examp-
le, in Phantom mode the center-
channel level cannot be ad-
justed since Phantom does not
have a center channel. In
stereo, neither the center nor
the surround levels can be
adjusted since Stereo does not
feature surround speakers or a
center speaker.
A seventh press of the Level
button will exit the ESC340 from
its level-adjustment mode.
