7. Once the confi guration mode has been
entered, the monitor outputs will mute.
Press and hold the reference button
until its associated LED lights. This will
take approximately fi ve seconds. The
LED will light to indicate that a “snap-
shot” of the new reference level has
been taken.
8. To store the new reference level in
memory, exit the confi guration mode
by again pressing and holding the con-
fi gure button.
This level is now permanently stored as
the reference level. Only by repeating the
procedure can the value be changed.
Once the confi guration mode has been
exited, the monitor output channels will
again become active. Confi rm that the cor-
rect level has been stored by pressing the
reference button. The SPL meter should
again display the desired level. If not,
repeat the calibration procedure.
You might wonder why you have to press
and hold the reference button for fi ve sec-
onds before the selected value is stored.
This is provided specifi cally so that some
careless person won’t accidentally change
the reference level while they are “playing
around” in the confi guration mode! Only if
you know the “secret” will you be able to
store a new value.
Remote Input Select
The remote input select function requires
confi guring two parameters: mode and
input to be selected. The mode can be
selected from three choices: disabled, ex-
clusive, and non-exclusive. As expected,
when confi gured for disabled, the function
cannot be activated. When confi gured for
exclusive, whenever the function is activat-
ed only the specifi ed input will be active.
When confi gured for non-exclusive, when-
ever the function is activated the speci-
fi ed input will be added (summed) with
any other input or inputs that are already
active. The input can be selected from
among the two surround and two stereo
input sources.
Dim Level
The dim function is used to reduce the
monitor output level by a preset amount.
The reduction is in dB relative to the moni-
tor output’s current level. There are four
dim level values available: 10, 15, 20,
and 25 dB.
Remote Mute All
Two confi guration choices are associated
with the remote mute all function: disabled
and enabled. To utilize the function simply
confi gure it for enabled.
Remote Dim
Two confi guration choices are associated
with the remote dim function: disabled and
enabled. To utilize the function simply con-
fi gure it for enabled.
Remote Talkback
Two confi guration choices are associated
with the remote talkback function: dis-
abled and enabled. To utilize the function
simply confi gure it for enabled. Note that
this setting applies to both the hard-wired
remote talkback input and the infrared (IR)
receiver talkback input. The function must
be enabled for either of these inputs to be
active.
Auto Dim Off
The auto dim off function is unique, mak-
ing the dim function respond to real-world
operating conditions. When enabled, the
