the volume display reverts to displaying volume, the directional bar
is displayed next to the volume level indication in whichever
direction the balance is out of balance, either on left (for leftward
balance) or on right (for rightward balance). The balance display
remains unchanged for 2 seconds after the Balance button is
released, and the display returns to indicating the volume setting.
Status:
The unit goes into Balance Setting mode while either the Balance L
or the Balance R button is held down or the Balance button is
pressed.
16. User toggles between suppressing and displaying out-of-balance display
information (Front Panel or RS-232 port)
User may not want to display permanent out of balance conditions all the time.
User input:
User presses mute button while holding down balance button.
Addressable through RS-232 port also – see specific section for
command structure.
Indication:
Left or right bar on front panel display toggles between display and
no display.
Status:
No functional change in unit.
17. User changes absolute phase (Remote or Front Panel)
Absolute phase between positive wave fronts and negative rarefactions of sound
(watch the woofer of your loudspeaker on bass notes) varies from recording to
recording (and sometimes within different tracks on a recording), sometimes by
design, and sometimes in error. High resolution systems are easily able to resolve these
anomalies, and the user may wish to correct the problem by changing the phase of the
signal.
User input:
User depresses Phase button on front panel or remote, or sends a
discrete phase or phase reverse signal from external remote.
Indication:
The LED for phase toggles between 0
0
(off) and 180
0
(red).
Status:
The unit changes output polarity with respect to input.
18. User fades signal (remote only) (unmated only)
Fading/lowering the signal quickly (as opposed to muting it to zero level) is sometimes
desired, and is faster to lower the volume than the sequential volume control.
User input:
User presses Fade button on remote control.
Indication:
Volume level indication on front panel jumps directly to 20.
