Multi-Function Rotary Switch Behavior

From the Factory, pressing in on the Multi-Function Rotary Switch will automatically recall the head-
phone monitor source defi ned in the Setup Menu option HP: FAVORITE MODE. It can also be set to
quickly toggle through the available storage media from which the recorder will playback from, or it
can be disabled.
• Disabled: pressing the Multi-Function Rotary Switch has no effect.
• Selects Favorite Mode: recalls the headphone source selected in HP: FAVORITE MODE.
• Playback Drive Select: selects which of the available storage media to playback from.

Headphone Favorite Selection

If Selects Favorite Mode is selected from the choices above, pressing the Multi-Function Rotary
Switch selects the monitor source defi ned in the Setup Menu option HP: FAVORITE MODE. This
feature is helpful to quickly return to a selected headphone monitoring source while recording or
playing. Pressing in on the Multi Function Rotary Switch again will return the headphone monitor to
the last routing selected.

Headphone Playback Mode

A single headphone source can be set to automatically activate during playback. All headphone
monitor combinations are available in the Setup Menu option HP: PLAYBACK MODE. No Change can
also be selected, which makes no change to the headphone selection during playback.

Headphone Warning Tones

The 788T generates audible beeps, or warning "bells", in the headphone monitor when an error has
occurred. The specifi c error will be reported on the LCD. The output level of the warning bell can be
adjusted from Off or -60 to -12 dBFS in the Setup Menu option HP: WARNING BELL LEVEL.

Recording Start and Stop Bells

If enabled in the Setup Menu option HP: RECORD/STOP BELL, the start of recording can be indicated
audibly by a single, 440 Hz tone sent solely to headphones. When recording is stopped, two 220 Hz
tones will be sent to the headphones.

Low Battery Warning

Warning tones are sent to the headphones when either the attached battery or external power supply
voltage reaches their low warning levels (6.9 V for the attached Li-ion, 10.5 V or user-selectable in the
Setup Menu option POWER: EXT LOW BATT VOLT). The Low Battery Warning is three short 880 Hz
tones that are sent every 20 seconds.
If all warning bells are turned Off, no tones are sent to headphones, including the Low Battery Warn-
ing.

Headphone Power Up Gain

The 788T's headphone level is adjustable from Off, -40 dB to 26 dB in 2 dB increments. The Setup
Menu option HP: POWER UP GAIN sets the headphone level control upon start up to: Off, the Last
Gain setting used, or at Midpoint Gain (0 dB).

Headphone Source as Outputs

The left and right program of the headphone monitor can be selected as an output source. This al-
lows the user to send the selected headphone monitor source to third party devices. The Headphone
Volume control has no effect on the signal at the outputs.
