Section 2: Operation

Enabling Mute States: Mute Button

Pressing the MUTE Button allows the user to step through three mute states and an unmuted state. When the system

is in one of the mute states, all other information normally shown in the LCD Display, such as the Input Status

Display, is disabled. All other buttons are disabled until the unit is taken out of the Mute Mode.

First press mutes both speakers : Mute LR

Second press mutes the Left speaker : Mute L

Third press mutes the Right speaker : Mute R

Fourth press returns the unit to Unmuted (normal) operation.

Muting functions affect the signals to the speakers/headphones and the rear panel Selected/Downmix Analog

Output Connectors (Item M, page 14). Muting does NOT affect the Metered Analog Outputs (Item K, page 14),

except to defeat scaling. When speakers are muted, the gain scaling of the Metered Analog Outputs is defeated so that no

scaling is applied during unit muting. See the Analog Output Preference parameter in the Setup Mode section on page 30

for more information. The Metered Analog Outputs remain active even when the mute state is enabled.
