When switching into DSD Mode to “Auto”, if Hilo is in 16-channel LT-
USB mode, then a warning screen will appear. As DSD requires a sample
rate of 176.4kHz available only in USB 8-channel mode, this screen will
prompt you to switch to 8-channel LT-USB mode.
Tap Yes and Hilo will automatically reset to LT-USB 8-channel mode
and be ready for DSD playback.
While DSD is playing, any page that has level meters will show a DSD
logo instead of the meters. As soon as DSD playback is stopped, the
level meter page will return.

Test Tone Function
Intended for system testing and calibration, Hilo’s Test Tone provides a 1 kHz audio signal which can be sent to any output or
combination of outputs. The tone level can be controlled in 0.5 dB increments from a new dedicated screen. For reference, the same
screen also shows the input levels coming into Hilo.
Using the menu button on the Output side (here selected as Line
Out), choose the output to which you want to send the test tone.
Use the On/Off button to engage/disengage the test tone.
The initial level is set at -40 dBu. The fader and front panel rotary
control allow you to adjust the level in 0.5 dB increments.
Multiple outputs can receive the test tone simultaneously.
Inputs Meters are shown to allow monitoring of any signal being
received by the Hilo.

Power Up State
Hilo can be set to toggle between two Power Up states:
Standby
: In this mode, when AC power is applied and the back panel power switch is in the ON
position (show graphic), Hilo will be in Standby mode until the front panel STANDBY switch is
pressed. Then the Hilo will power up and be ready for use.
On:
In this mode, when AC power is applied and the back panel power switch is in the ON position,
Hilo will power up and be ready for use. This is a typical setting when Hilo is placed in an equipment
rack with a single master power switch for all of the equipment in the rack.
