before releasing it. This will preserve the current selection set as

Level Meters
: Audio levels for the four selected source channels
are displayed via these four tri-color LED bargraph meters. The four
bar graph meters display levels for the digital or analog sources as
selected by the
Analog/Digital
source select switch. All bar graph
LED segments are of the tri-color type (green, amber, red) and are
user adjustable for reference level, display mode, peak hold, PPM
ballistics, alternate bar graphscales, and phase correlation via DIP
switches on the rear panel and inside the unit.
•
Volume
(Rotary Knob): This controls the loudness of the audio
reproduced by the internal speakers or connected headphone.
Clock-wise rotation of this control increases the loudness of the
monitored audio in the speakers or headphones.
•
Power
(LED): This LED glows green to indicate the unit is
connected to mains power and an operation voltage is present.
•
Phase
(LEDs): These three LEDs indicate the instantaneous and
average phase (polarity) conditions between the two signals in the
channel pair (or downmix) assigned to the left and right speaker
channels. The two smaller LEDs labeled
show instantaneous (fast)
phase relationships in the signal. The larger LED labeled
AVG
will
indicate the average phase condition.
•
+: The green fast LED glows (or blinks) for in-phase signals.
•
-: The amber fast LED glows (or blinks) for out-of-phase
signals.
•
The large
AVG
LED indicates the average phase condition by
glowing green for in-phase signals, or red for out-of-phase
signals.
In general, observing the
AVG
LED alone is sufficient for proper
phase monitoring. While it is normal for stereo signals to contain
some intermittant instantaneous out-of-phase and in-phase
conditions (fast LEDs), a steady red glow of the
AVG
LED indicates
an out-of-phase alarm condition.
•
Brightness
(Potentiometer): This control is recessed into the front
panel and can be accessed using a small screwdriver. Turning it
clockwise will increase the relative brightness of all bar graph
display LED segments.
