7.8. Setting the Display’s Backlight Intensity
The
YOUNG MKIII
display’s backlight intensity can be set on four different levels. An
automatic mode is also available which keeps the display always off, except when a
command is executed
As for balance, this feature is applied in real-time to give user the possibility to immediately
see the results. Automatic mode is indicated by the “AUTO” value.
7.9. Choosing Volume Mode
The
YOUNG M
K
III
listening level can be displayed in two fashions: either in deciBels or in
steps. Moreover, it is possible to freeze the listening level to the current value (this is
useful when the
YOUNG M
K
III
is used as a true source connected to a preamplifier or
integrated amplifier).
In decibel mode, the maximum level is 0dB, while negative values with increasing
magnitude indicate decreasing listening levels. For example, a listening level of -15dB is
higher than a listening level of -20dB.
In steps mode, the maximum listening level is 192, while positive values with decreasing
magnitude indicate decreasing listening levels. For example, a listening level of 40 will be
higher than a listening level of 30.
NOTE: Choosing one mode or the other doesn’t change the way the volume is
actually set: the
YOUNG M
K
III
allows for a setting between 0 and -96dB in 0.5dB steps.
Only the way the volume is displayed is modified by the setting described above.
7.10. Setting the Automatic Switch Off
To comply with UE requirements regarding energy saving, the
YOUNG M
K
III
is able to
automatically switch off after a certain idle time. By idle we mean a time lapse in which
user didn’t access any control, like volume or mute.
User can set the auto switch-off time (between 10 and 240 minutes in 10 minutes steps) or
he/she can disable this feature.
NOTE: To disable this feature, the value “0” must be selected, which is one of the
allowed values.
