12–Using the Ducking Function
This unit has a ducking function. By using this
function, the playback signal can automatically be
reduced when an analog signal is input into the unit,
or the analog input signal can be reduced when a
track is playing. One specific use, for example, is to
automatically reduce the volume of background music
when an announcement is being made.
To use the ducking function, in the Ducking submenu
of the System Settings Menu, set the
Ducking
Mode
to “
Attenuate Playback
” or
“
Attenuate Input
”. Use this submenu to set
the analog input threshold level, the playback signal
reduction level and the time until the playback signal
returns to the ordinary level after the analog input
has stopped. (See “System settings” in the Owner’s
Manual.)
