ATI Technologies ATP 8500 - Manual (Page 18)

NOISE
This key switches on the Noise Test signal, after the LEVEL key has been pressed or the level setup entered from the
setup menu. A broadband noise is sent first to the Left Front Channel for a few seconds, the to the Center Channel and
so on through the other channels. You can also use the level TRIM keys to adjust the level of any channel during this
cycle (see below). While the level is being trimmed, the noise signal remains directed to that channel and it will only
move to the next channel after the trimming has been completed.
MODE+ AND MODE–
These keys function in the same way as the MODE button on the front panel, but allow selection up and down through
the available modes. You can use the MODE button to cycle through the Music Modes that are available when you select
a 2-channel digital or analog source. The Modes are as follows: STEREO, MONO, PRO LOGIC and MUSIC and they are
described in the table below. If you select a multi-channel digital source, the ATP 8500 will automatically use the most
appropriate multi-channel processing format.
SW+ AND SW–
These keys function as the Subwoofer volume adjustment. If you have pressed LEVEL (or DELAY), then these keys are
for trimming speaker levels of the LEVEL mode or speaker delays in the DELAY mode. First press LEVEL (or DELAY)
and then trim by using these keys.
CTR+ AND CTR–
These keys adjust the level of the center channel speaker.
SURR+ AND SURR–
These keys adjust the volume of the surround speakers.
BRIGHT
This toggles between 3 levels of brightness of the front panel video display.
LOCK
Pressing this button locks the front panel of the ATP 8500 from use (the front panel controls won’t work). Pressing
again unlocks the front panel controls. If you lose the remote, but have locked the front panel controls, simply turn off
the ATP 8500 using the REAR panel power switch, and turn it back on again. The front panel controls will now operate.
ZONE (same as ZONE 2 on the front panel)
Press the ZONE button. Quickly, while the Zone 2 LED on the front panel is on, press a source button (DVD for
example), then adjust the volume level. Now don’t touch anything until the Zone 2 LED goes off. You’ve now set a
different source (or the same source if you prefer) AND volume level for a second zone.
LIGHT
The backlight will turn on for seven seconds when the LIGHT button is pressed. The light will remain on for another
seven seconds whenever any other button is pressed while the light is on.
