4 – The front panel
YDP2006
The front panel
From left to right, the controls on the front panel are:
1
INPUT LEVEL
– two concentric rotary controls (inner control is left channel) to adjust the
level of the signal fed into the YDP2006.
2
Level meters – L and R
– These meters come after the A-D convertors in the signal chain.
A “CLIP” indication therefore indicates digital distortion, and the input levels should be
adjusted so that the “CLIP” indicators never light.
3
Memory
– this 2-digit LED indicator shows the current memory area.
4
Screen
– this 56 x 128 pixel display gives a graphic representation of the current equal-
ization settings. It is also used to display other settings which you can edit using the
front panel controls.
5
Rotary encoders
– the
F
,
G
and
Q
controls are used primarily for setting the Frequency,
Gain and Q of equalization bands. When editing utility settings, they may also be used
for editing data.
6
PEQ/NOTCH selectors and indicators
– When the PEQ key
8
is lit, the selectors are used
to select a band from PEQ 1–6 (or either MONO.L 1–6, or MONO.R 1-6 when in mono
mode).
When the NOTCH key
9
is lit, they are used to select a band among notches 1–4, and
the HPF and LPF filters or, when in mono mode, MONO.L (1–4 and HPF and LPF) or
MONO.R (1-4).
The indicators show the status of the various bands/filters, and light when the corre-
sponding band/filter is on.
7
MEMORY keys
– the
[STORE]
,
[RECALL]
,
[^]
and
[%]
keys are used to read and write settings
stored in the 40 memory areas.
8
PEQ key
– pressing this key will show the parameters for the parametric equalizer (in
either graphic or numerical form), and enable the PEQ selectors. The indicators will
show the on/off status of the parametric bands.
9
NOTCH key
– pressing this key will show the parameters for the notch filters (in either
graphic or numerical form), and enable the NOTCH selectors and indicators.
0
UTILITY key
– pressing this key will cycle through a range of screens, allowing you to set
up various system parameters for the unit.
A
[L/<]
and
[R/>]
keys
– you can make equalization settings for the left and right channels
independently. These keys allow you to select which channel you are editing. By press-
ing one of these keys, holding it down, and then pressing the other, you can edit the
parameters of both channels simultaneously.
B
BYPASS key
– when pressed, the signal fed into the unit will bypass the internal circuitry,
and will be re-output “as is”.
