1. Front-Panel Display
Indicates the current input, listening mode, input source and
volume level. If the built-in tuner is active, it will show the
frequency, band, listening mode and volume level. This 2 x 20
character display can also be used to view messages and
menus, one line at a time. Refer to the Menu Navigation
section that begins on page 2-14 for more information.
2. IR Receiver
Receives IR commands from the RV-8 remote control. There are
three LEDs located in this area as shown below. An amber LED
blinks when a remote control command is received. A red LED
lights when the A/D converters are overloading. A blue LED
lights when the RV-8 is powered on and activated – even if the
FRONT PANEL DISPLAY menu STATUS parameter is set to
ALWAYS OFF.
