7.3. Choosing the Signal's Phase

The YOUNG MKIV allows user to choose the phase of the outgoing analog signal. This
feature is useful in various ways. For example, it's known that some recordings were made
with inverted phase. Absolute phase can therefore be restored applying a second phase
inversion into the DAC. Moreover, balanced connections come in two different standards,
depending on whether a certain piece of equipment was designed in Japan on in a
western Country: When connecting a Japanese gear to an American or European one, a
phase inversion is obtained. In this case, too, a second phase inversion restores absolute
phase.
To invert or restore the phase, just press the "PHASE" key on the remote control. When
the phase is inverted, the indication "PH" appears on the display.

7.4. Source Selection

The YOUNG MKIV is provided with various inputs, therefore it is possible to connect different
sources and select which one to listen to.
To select a source, press the encoder shortly. The name of the current source will start
flashing on the display. Rotate the encoder until the desired source is displayed. Then,
press the encoder again to confirm: the new source will be selected.
Should the user change his/her mind and keep the current source, it is sufficient to push
the button to the right of the front panel (item 6, Fig. 1) or avoid doing anything else: After
a few seconds the YOUNG MKIV will automatically return in its "idle" status without changing
the source setting.

7.5. Menu Navigation

The YOUNG MKIV allows for configuring various parameters, some of which (the ones less
frequently changed) are grouped in a menu which can be navigated by both the front
panel's controls and the dedicated keys on the remote control.
To access the menu, keep the encoder pressed for at least two seconds or push the
"MENU" key on the remote control.
It is possible to scroll the various menu items with successive short pushes of the encoder
or with the "arrow up" and "arrow down" keys on the remote control.
Once the desired menu item is displayed, it is possible to choose the desired value
amongst the allowed values rotating the encoder or using the "arrow left" and "arrow right"
keys on the remote control.
