Front Panel Features

1. Standby switch: Use this switch to turn the unit ON
from STANDBY and vice versa.
2. Headphone output / calibration microphone input:
This jack has a dual purpose. Headphone jack accepts
any standard headphone with a 1/8-inch/3.5mm jack.
The jack also is used to connect the included calibration
micro-phone during level and distance calibration (see
section Speaker Setup, page 19).
3. 6 Function Select Touch Buttons: Functions of
these buttons appear as markings on the display window.
A light touch with your finger onto the button marking on
the surface is all that is required.
4. Mute: Turns on and off mute relays. If the unit is
muted, no audio signal passes to the main output
terminals.
5. Display: 2 x 20-character display provides informa-
tion on the current system status. In normal operating
mode, information about current source, incoming signal
type, processing mode and volume level is available
simultaneously.
6. Touch Wheel: Volume control and navigation con-
trol. To control volume, brush your finger around the
matte textured "donut" lightly and slowly. Moving your fin-
ger clockwise increases volume and turning it counter-
clockwise decreases volume. This control also is used as
a standard navigation control when in setup mode. Touch
the blue arrows for up / down / left / right and/or use the
"wheel" to select values.
Note: Unlike conventional electronics which use
electro-mechanical switches, the Controller uses soft
touch controls. In other words, don't expect to hear a click
when you press buttons.
Note: Please be aware that the touch wheel is very
sensitive and can easily go to full volume very quickly
possibly damaging your speakers, amplifiers and ears
and startling your loved ones. A light touch, with conser-
vative movements is all that is required.

Proximity Feature

The Controller features proximity detection sensors. As
you move your hand towards the display window the
display wakes up and changes from the current status
(source, volume, listening mode and input type) to the
start screen (first three sources plus mode and setup)
When you move your hand have away, it returns to sta-
tus mode (and after a few seconds the display goes
dark). The front panel display has two settings, "always
on" and "auto off". When set to "auto off" the display will
go dark after 10 seconds (see Misc Setup / Display on
page 28).
If you have a door on your equipment rack which inter-
feres with the proximity feature, the proximity feature can
be turned on and off (see Misc Setup / Proximity Mode,
page 28).
