PLM Series Operation Manual
QUICK GUIDE OVERVIEW 6
Mute Enable
Select MUTE ENABLE to allow muting via the soft
button of the inputs to the Dolby Lake system, the
power output channels, or both. The MUTE ENABLE
legend in the button flashes when the mode is
selected. A second press will deselect the mode;
however, if left active, MUTE ENABLE mode will
automatically cancel after two minutes if no further
mute actions are taken.
Meter
The METER button scrolls through three alternative
views: HOME, MODULE, and TEMPERATURE.
Pressing METER when in MENU mode returns the
screen to METER mode, and the HOME view is
displayed.
The display has two basic operating
modes: METER (default) and MENU.
Menu
Pressing the MENU button puts the screen display
into MENU mode, and the “top” page of the MENU
“tree” is displayed. Once in MENU mode, most of
the PLM Series’ operating functions can be accessed.
See sections 9.12.2 to 9.12.8 for more details.
soft function buttons
Eight soft function buttons are set adjacent to
the display in two groups of four. These buttons
are unlabelled because their functions change
according to the current menu mode as displayed
on the screen.
status LEDs
Eight tricolor LEDs are integrated into the soft buttons
for convenience. These convey both fault and warning
indications, plus the currently selected mute status
of the Dolby Lake Processing system inputs and
the output channels. Full details can be found in
section 9.10.
High-intensity LED
A white, high-intensity LED is located to the right
of the display. This LED illuminates when the PLM
Series’ control system is being accessed remotely
via the DLC PLM Edition software.
Encoder
The rotary encoder is used to modify various PLM
parameters (e.g. input level) in conjunction with the
various display pages. When a menu item is selected
that permits adjustment of parameter values, the ring
around the knob illuminates.
Exit
The EXIT key is used primarily while navigating the
menu system in MENU mode; pressing it takes the
display back to a previous screen (“up one level” in
the menu tree). In METER mode, pressing the EXIT
key always returns the display to the HOME view.
