Utilities Security Lock Outs
Lock set up mode
A further press of either the Up or Down navipad key enters the Lock set up mode.
Once in the Lock setup mode it is possible to navigate around the Input and Output screens as
normal but with these important differences:
• Parameter values can no longer be changed.
• The STORE and RECALL screens are not accessible.
• Only the Config and Stereo Link Utilities are lockable.
• The unit is always ‘unlinked’ i.e. parameters have to be locked/unlocked individually, they
cannot be locked in stereo pairs although the Stereo Link function itself is still active.
If a parameter is unlocked the parameter name and value is displayed as usual. Pressing > or
turning the encoder clockwise changes the value display to a check mark, as shown below, to
indicate that this parameter is now locked. Select the particular parameters that are to be locked
from view and change their values to check marks. Conversely, if Lock All was selected then
select and change the parameters’ state to unlocked, e.g. no check mark, as required.
The ‘OEM’ written in the top corner of the screen indicates that the unit is in ‘OEM’ Lock setup
mode.
EQs will not display in lock set up mode if they are unassigned, i.e. not given any cut/boost
value. Attempting to step into a new EQ will display the followng screen:
This allows the programmer to prevent a user from assigning further EQs. Alternatively the
ability to add further EQs can be left on.
If the Minidrive is powered down while in Lock set up mode, the unit will return to the locked
state when it is turned back on, with the current password still valid.
IMPORTANT: Write down your password and keep it in a safe place. There is no way around
this security mechanism without the password.
