Front Panel Indicators & Controls

Fig 4-2: RB-VHCMA4 Front Panel

Power LED

The POWER LED illuminates whilst internal power is present within the unit. If this indicator 
is not on, the most likely reason is simply the absence of mains power, but under fault 
conditions it may also indicate a ruptured mains fuse or a problem with the internal power 
supply module.

Reset Button

In the unlikely event that the unit fails to respond, press the reset button to reboot the unit.

Bank

The BANK button is used to select between the embed and de-embed bank.  The selection 
determines the function of the other front panel buttons.

When the de-embed bank is selected, the front panel buttons will control de-embedding 
to this bank.  The button LED is used show whether the bank is enabled.  To enable or 
disable the bank, press and hold the BANK button for two seconds until the bank number 
indicator blinks.  When lit green it is enabled and when lit red it is disabled.  When the bank 
is disabled, all audio outputs on this bank are muted.

When the embed bank is selected, the front panel buttons will control embedding from 
this bank.

Bank Channel

Embed

The BANK CHANNEL button and its indicators are only used when the unit is operating in 
Channel mode and are used to select the audio input bank channel when controlling the 
embedding channel routing.
