Controls / displays / indicators


15 – 19. Front panel controls


The front panel includes an LCD touchscreen and five buttons positioned underneath the display. These
buttons work along with the touchscreen to provide control and monitoring of most Perseus functions.
The functions of the buttons are shown using icons on the screen. Here are the functions:

15. Home


This button brings you to the Input Select screen no matter which control screen you are currently
viewing.

16. Return/back


This button brings you back to the previous control screen. For example, from the MC Load screen,
pushing this button will take you back to the Input Setup screen.


17. Standby/power


Push this button to turn the Perseus on and off. When you turn the unit on, it will take a few seconds
for the power supply and preamp to warm up. When the Perseus is ready for use, its LCD screen will
illuminate. Press the mute button on the Perseus to activate the sound.

When you turn the Perseus off, the unit will enter cool-down mode for 10 seconds. During cool-down,
no buttons on the unit will operate.


18. Setup


Pressing this button will call up the Screen Setup screen, which lets you adjust contrast, brightness and
timeout of the LCD screen.
