PANASTEREO CX230 CINEMA MONITOR
CX230 OPERATION
MONITORING AN INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL
Select a channel to be monitored by pressing the pushbutton for the appropriate channel once.
An LED indicator will illuminate above the selected input button. Adjust the volume control for a
comfortable listening level. The volume is indicated by the 2-digit display to the left of the control.
Biamp installations only:
It is possible to monitor each of the front channel high and low frequency outputs separately.
Press the left, centre or right pushbutton once to monitor a mix of the high and low frequency
outputs for each channel.
Press the same button a second time to monitor the high frequency output only. Press the same
button a third time to monitor just the low frequency output.
Repeatedly pressing the same button will cycle through the above three options.
MONITORING A MIX
When the MIX button is pressed, the monitor output will be a blend of the front three channels
(left, centre and right).
In MIX mode a compressor is automatically inserted to reduce the
difference in volume between very loud and very soft signals. This makes it easier to monitor
digital and SR soundtracks. The compressor can be disabled by setting the options. (See
Installation section).
The surround channel is not included in the mix because the delay which is normally introduced in
the cinema processor for the surround channel may cause confusing echo effects. The surround
and sub bass channels must be monitored individually.
MONITORING THE PROCESSOR OUTPUTS OR THE AMPLIFIER OUTPUTS
Press the SOURCE pushbutton to select either the outputs from the sound processor or the
outputs from the amplifiers.
Repeatedly pressing the SOURCE button will toggle back and forth between the processor and
the amplifier outputs.
MUTING THE MONITOR OUTPUTS
Press the MUTE button to silence the monitor without changing the volume setting. Press the
MUTE button a second time to restore the monitor output to normal.
(The monitor can also be muted by turning the volume down to zero, but in this case the volume
must be turned up again to restore the previous listening level).
