MSB Technology Select DAC II User Manual page 15

Front Panel Controls
Although the user interface is very simple and easy to use, in depth menus allow complete control of the DAC.
Menu Button – The square button is single purpose. It will enter the setup mode at the
top of the menu tree. It is the same as the MENU button on the remote. If in the setup,
and it doesn't matter where, this button will exit the setup and return to the normal
operational mode. When the menu is exited, it will save the settings.
Input Selection – Each of the inputs can be selected manually, or the auto
mode can be selected. The right and left arrows switch inputs. If the
AUTO input is selected, the unit will automatically switch inputs based
on a priority. When a source with a higher priority becomes active, the
unit will automatically switch to the new higher priority input. Toggling
through the inputs manually will defeat any auto switching. When in the setup menu the arrows move
forward and backwards through the menu structure as they do with the remote.
Mute/Enter Button – This is the button with the circle. When not in the menu, this button is
mute. When in the setup menu this button is enter, the same as the > button on the remote.
Volume Knob - This knob adjusts the volume between 0 and 106. 100 db is the "normal"
output level. In the menu mode, the volume knob scrolls up and down in the menu
options. The same as Volume Up and Down on the remote.
Display - The display shows the Input in the upper left. If an arrow is in front of the input name, it has
been selected manually. The upper right shows the input sample rate and bit depth. The bottom left
will show "Phase" when the phase is inverted and the bottom right will show "Video" when in video
mode. The center number is volume. Each step is 1 db.
Remote
The MSB remote can be used to operate several MSB products. The top half is primary for transports.
Power – The power button turns on and off the Power Base. When the power base is linked to the
Amplifiers and any other MSB products, this button will turn off the entire system. (see power base
section for details)
Keypad, Stop, Repeat – The keypad, stop and repeat buttons are for transports and have no effect on the
SELECT. (see Transport manual for details).
Volume up and down – The center block of the remote has several functions. The volume up and down
buttons change the system volume. The mute button instantly mutes the audio. Changing the volume
will un-mute the audio instantly.
< > buttons – These central buttons are also for controlling transports, but also can be used for navigation
of the SELECT menus. See MENU below.
Input – This button toggles directly through the inputs of the SELECT even if the DAC is set to the auto
mode.
Menu – This is equivalent to pressing the menu button on the front panel and puts the SELECT into the
menu/setup mode. The menus can be navigated from the front panel or using the < >, volume up/down
buttons on the remote. Up and down is the volume knob and > is like ENTER on the front.
