The MUTE indicator shows mute status. When the system mute is active, the MUTE indicator is lit.
When the user mute is active, the MUTE indicator flashes. As the user mute status takes priority to
the system mute status, the MUTE indicator shows the status as follows.
• When the [INPUT] switch is set to "Analog"
• When the [INPUT] switch is set to "Digital"
"System mute" and "user mute"
The RM-2 has two mute functions. One is the "user mute" function which allows you to manually
mute the unit whenever you want, while the other is the "system mute" function which automatically
mute the unit in particular conditions.

User mute
(1) When you turn on the power.
(2) When you press the [INPUT] switch to switch the input.
(3) When the unit does not lock to the external digital clock while selecting the digital input.
User mute: The user mute function allows you to mute the unit manually by pressing and hold-
ing down the [CH SEL] key until the [MUTE] indicator lights up (the level meters show the input
levels regardless of the mute condition). You can release muting by pressing the [CH SEL] key
briefly.
System mute: The RM-2 is automatically muted in any of conditions (1) through (3) below (un-
like the user mute, the level meters do not show the input levels in this case). The system mute
function is activated to prevent the noise from being generated from the speaker units. In the
cases of (1) and (2) below, muting is released after a few seconds. In the case of (3), muting is
released when the unit locks to the external digital signal.
: When you turn on the power, both the user mute and system mute functions are
activated. Therefore, system muting is automatically released after a few seconds but user
muting is not released automatically. So you have to press the [CH SEL] key to release user
muting.
