Operation
Input Gain Offset: You may experience some devices playing consistently
louder than others (for example, a CD player may always play louder than a
turntable). In this event, the Input Gain Offset can be engaged to balance
the overall volume between the differing inputs, alleviating the need to adjust
the master volume when changing between inputs. The Input Gain Offset
screen is designed so you can make adjustments easily to each input in real
time. For best results, play all devices connected to the Reference 10
simultaneously, and from the Input Gain Offset page, change inputs by
touching the input bar. If an input is louder or softer than another, use the
up and down arrows to adjust accordingly (fig 9).

Hours Meter: The Hours Meter displays the total number of hours the
Reference 10 has been running. This is useful to gauge tube life and prepare
for eventual replacement. The hours meter may be reset after the tubes
have been changed by touching the 'Reset' button located in the bottom
right of the screen.
Foreground/Background Color: The Reference 10 has ten color options
for both screen background and text. Selecting either one of these options
from the settings menu will allow you choose a new color to customize the
display on your Reference 10. Please note that the currently selected color
is not displayed in the choices shown, nor do you have the option to choose
the same color for both the background and foreground (fig. 10).
