2.1 Front panel
1 POWER switch (STANDBY/ON)
The power switch is used to switch the unit between
standby mode (the time from the internal clock is
displayed) and on (full operational mode).
When the unit is turned on, the display shows
Welcome! .
2 Disc tray
Discs should be placed label side upwards in the disc
tray.
When a disc is loaded into the unit, the display
briefly shows
TOC Reading. , with a flash-
ing period following the word “Reading” as the unit
determines the contents of the disc.
3 OPEN/CLOSE key
Use this key to open and close the disc tray. The dis-
play shows
OPEN when the tray is opening and
CLOSE when the tray is closing.
4 RHSL key
Use this key when recording to set and adjust the
start point of a recording session or the start of a
track on the recorded disc. See 4.4, “Rehearsal” for
details.
5 DIGITAL DIRECT
When this is active, any digital audio signals input to
the unit bypass the frequency convertor and the digi-
tal volume control. See 4.3.4, “Digital direct” for
details
6 INPUT SELECT
Repeated presses of this key cycle through the differ-
ent audio inputs and the input combinations. See 4.1,
“Input selection” for full details.
7 REMOTE SENSOR
This is not a control, but the sensor for the remote
control unit. When using the remote control unit,
make sure that there is a clear path from the remote
control unit to the sensor.
8 Display
The display is used to show the current status of the
unit, as well as the current menu settings. See 2.2,
“Rear panel” for details.
9 MENU key
Repeated presses of this key cycle through the differ-
ent menu items used to set parameters.
A DISPLAY key
Repeated presses of this key cycle through the differ-
ent time display modes. These modes differ, accord-
ing to whether the unit is playing back or recording a
disc.
B MULTI JOG control
Use this control to select tracks for playback, to set
parameter values, etc.
Typically, turning the control clockwise will increase
a value, and turning it counterclockwise will
decrease the value. There is no “end-stop” to the con-
trol—it may be turned continuously in either
direction.
In addition, pushing the control acts like an “enter”
key, i.e. the currently-displayed value or setting is
confirmed.
C TIMER switch (PLAY, OFF, REC)
Use this switch with the timer functions to control
the behavior of the unit when the timer “on” time is
reached. See 2.5, “Timer operations” for details.
D PHONES jack and LEVEL control
Use a standard pair of stereo headphones, equipped
with a 1/4-inch plug, with this jack.
Adjust the volume from the jack with the control
(turn clockwise for higher volume).
E REC LEVEL controls
Use these concentric controls to adjust the level of
the analog audio signals received at the
ANALOG IN
jacks
N
. Typically, turning one of these controls will
cause the other to turn, but they can be turned inde-
pendently of each other.
Use the lower (outer) control to adjust the left signal,
and the upper (inner) control to adjust the right
signal.
Turning the controls clockwise past the “ 5 ” position
will boost the signals relative to their input level, and
turning them counterclockwise to a position below
“
5 ” will cut the signals relative to their original input
level.
