From left to right, the controls on the front panel are:
1
INPUT LEVEL – two concentric rotary controls (inner control is left channel) to adjust the
level of the signal fed into the YDG2030.
2 Level meters – L and R . These meters come after the A-D convertors in the signal chain. A
"CLIP" indication therefore indicates digital distortion, and the input levels should be
adjusted so that the "CLIP" indicator never lights.
3 Memory – this 2-digit LED indicator shows the current memory area.
4
Screen – this 56 x 128 pixel display gives a graphic representation of the current equal-
ization settings. It is also used to display other settings which you can edit using the
front panel controls.
Rotary encoders – the F , G and Q controls are used primarily for setting the Frequency,
5
Gain and Q of equalization bands. When editing utility settings, they may also be used
for editing data.
6
NOTCH, HPF and LPF selectors and indicators – these keys are used to select and dese-
lect the notch filters, HPF and LPF used in an equalization setting. The indicators show
which filters are in effect for this equalization setting.
MEMORY keys – the [STORE], [RECALL], [^] and [%] keys are used to read and write settings
7
stored in the 40 memory areas.
8 DISPLAY key – pressing this key will change the information displayed on the screen –
graphic EQ, notch filter, sweep frequency etc.
9 FLAT key – pressing this key will return the graphic equalizer to a "flat" setting. The
notch filters, HPF and LPF will not be affected.
0
UTILITY key – pressing this key will cycle through a range of screens, allowing you to set
up various system parameters for the unit.
[L/<] and [R/>] keys – you can make equalization settings for the left and right channels
A
independently. These keys allow you to select which channel you are editing. By press-
ing one of these keys, holding it down, and then pressing the other, you can edit the
parameters of both channels simultaneously.
B
BYPASS key – when pressed, the signal fed into the unit will bypass the internal circuitry,
and will be re-output "as is".
