it means that the A channel is set to 1 kHz frequency and the B channel is set to 400 Hz
 
 
 
   
 
frequency.
Output Level and Frequency Adjust
 
The output level of the AES signals can be adjusted individually over a range from digital full
 
 
   
scale, ​ 0 dBFS​ , to digital silence, ​ O FF​ . Incremental adjustment can be made in 1 dB steps in the
 
   
range from 0 to ­30dBFS and in 10 dB steps in the range from ­30 to ­60dBFS, Digital silence
 
     
(​ O FF​ )  is the step below ­60dBFS.
The frequency of the individual outputs may be set to 100 Hz, 400 Hz or 1 kHz.
 
To change the level ensure that you are in the level display mode (for example the read­out
 
 
 
displays ​ A ES2 A/B ­20/­10​ ) press the ​ S ELECT knob once and the read­out will show ​ A ES2
 
 
A ­20dBFS, to change this level rotate the ​ A DJUST knob in either direction to set a new level.
 
   
Push the ​ S ELECT knob once more for the B channel. If it is desired to change the frequency of
 
 
 
the A or B channel push the ​ A DJUST knob. (Please note that once an individual AES channel
       
 
is selected pushing the ​ A DJUST knob toggles between level and frequency) Once all the level
 
 
 
and frequency adjustments are completed push the ​ S ELECT knob to return to ​ A /B status
 
 
display window.  Rotate the ​ S ELECT​   knob to select another AES output.
 
Selecting the​   ​ R eference Input​ :
 
Press the ​ S ELECT and ​ A DJUST knobs simultaneously. The readout will display one of the
 
 
 
following: 
Ref  AES,​   which means that an external AES reference signal is selected
Ref   Video,​   which means that an external NTSC video black reference signal is selected 
Ref   Int  48k,​   which means that the internal 48 kHz reference is selected
Ref   Int  96k,​   which means that the internal 96 kHz reference is selected
 
To select the appropriate reference signal rotate the ​ A DJUST knob. To exit the reference
 
 
 
selection menu rotate the ​ S ELECT knob counter­clockwise to display ​ E xit
 
 
the ​ S ELECT knob once. (Note that if the unit will eventually time out and return to the status
 
 
 
display mode if the exit procedure is not executed)
 
Setting the Reference Output (AES or Word Clock)
 
Press the ​ S ELECT and ​ A DJUST knobs simultaneously. The reference display will appear.
 
 
Turn the ​ S ELECT knob clockwise and the display will read ​ A ES1
 
 
 
indicating whether that output is set to deliver an AES or Word Clock signal. To choose the
 
 
appropriate signal rotate the ​ A DJUST knob to toggle between the two types of output signal.
 
 
Rotate the ​ S ELECT​   knob to scroll through AES outputs 1 to 4. 
 
Please note that if an output has been set to deliver a Word Clock signal level and
 
 
   
frequency adjustments can not be made.
