Mute Menu Set
The Mute button is dual function – on its own (blue type on the front panel), it
mutes and unmutes the analogue outputs when the unit is locked to a source.
With the other menu buttons (
white type on the front panel) it is the menu Set
button.
The analogue outputs are automatically muted at power up and remain so until
lock is achieved, as indicated by the LED above the Mute switch. If “A-Cut”,
page 22, is turned on, the unit will mute automatically if the source data is
identified as non-audio.
For Menu operation as the
Set button, see “The Software – the Menu” on
page 18.
Phase
Menu Down
The Phase button is triple function – on its own (blue type on the front panel), it
reverses the phase of the analogue outputs. If the “Panel” option, page 27, is
set to Volume, it functions as the Volume down button. With the other menu
buttons (
white type on the front panel) it is the menu Down button.
The left hand LED above the Phase button lights if CH1(L) outputs are inverted,
the right hand LED lights if CH2(R) outputs are inverted. Pressing the Phase
button toggles both channels between absolute and inverted phase. Holding the
button down causes the unit to cycle through the following sequence:
LEDs Ch1 (L) phase Ch2 (R) phase
on off inverted absolute
off on absolute inverted
off off absolute absolute
on on inverted inverted

Release the button when the required setting appears.
For Menu operation as the
Down button, see “The Software – the Menu” on
page 18.
De-Emphasis
Menu Up
The De-Emphasis button is also triple function – on its own (blue type on the
front panel), it sets the De-Emphasis characteristic. If the “Panel” option, page
27, is set to Volume, it functions as the Volume up button. With the other menu
buttons (
white type on the front panel) it is the menu Up button.
De-Emphasis is available for 32, 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates only.
Pressing the button repeatedly causes the single digit Mode display to the
right of the button to cycle through the following options:
