Using an audio test signal
(Before Version 2.00)
Holding down the audio selection function selector
switch for at least 3 seconds lights both of the INPUT
and MONITOR indicators, and causes an internal
signal generator to produce an audio test signal.
To stop the production of the audio test signal, press
this switch and release within 3 seconds.
(Version 2.00 or later)
Press the audio selection function selector switch
several times until the INPUT indicator lights. Then
press the CH-1 button in the SDI row or the
ANALOG/AES/EBU row and keep it pressed for 3
seconds or longer. When you release the button, all of
the AUDIO INPUT/MIXING/MONITOR SELECT
buttons light and an internal signal generator produces
an audio test signal.
During production of the audio test signal, the INPUT
indicator remains lit even if you use the audio selection
function selector switch to select MIX or MONITOR.
To stop the production of the audio test signal, press
the audio selection function selector switch so that
only the INPUT indicator is lit. Then press any of the
AUDIO INPUT/MIXING/MONITOR SELECT
buttons, releasing the button within 3 seconds.
When the VIDEO INPUT SELECT switch is set to
