Nº40 Media Console Front Panel Operation
Display Mode button
Pressing this button repeatedly will toggle the LCD display of the
Nº40 between always on and preview only.
If you want the LCD display to reflect whatever the currently
selected zone activity is, leave it in always on mode. This allows you
to use the LCD display as a small second monitor, one that is quite
handy when making a recording on your Record zone, while
watching something else in the main theater.
If you prefer the LCD display to remain dark until it is explicitly
required (like when you press the preview button), use the display
mode button to toggle the LCD display into preview only mode.
Note that the LCD display will
always
display the Nº40 menu
system when you access it.
Menu Select button
The menu select button displays the toolbar (a “menu of options”)
along the top edge, middle, or bottom edge of the screen according
to your preference. This toolbar will appear on the LCD display and
the Monitor output, and can also appear on the Main Video Output
(also according to your preference). This toolbar provides quick and
easy access to the important setup menu as well as to other menus
and features. (You can customize the toolbar to better meet your
particular needs and preferences.)
As shipped from the factory, two of the six spaces on the toolbar are
predefined: the setup menu and audio controls. You can define the
remaining tools on the toolbar, using the available space as you
wish. However, the setup menu cannot be removed from the
toolbar. For more information on the toolbar, please review “Menu
System” on page 5-1.
The menu select button (and the menu button on the remote
control) displays the toolbar, from which you can enter the setup
menu.
Once you are within a menu, pressing the menu button exits the
current menu item without saving any changes. It is used with the
enter button and the navigation cluster (up/down/left/right
buttons) on the remote to move around in and change the settings
of various menus. You can also use the input and zone knobs for
navigation if you prefer. Please refer to “Menu System” on page 5-1
for more information.
Enter button
The enter button (both on the front panel and on the remote
control) is used in the menu system, in one of two ways (depending
on context).
When in the menu system, a highlighted area will indicate the
currently selected item on the menu. If that item has its own sub-
items, pressing enter will advance you to that next level “down” in
the hierarchy.
