DISPLAY Brightness Function
Changing the Display Brightness: The VK-33 display can be dimmed
or turned completely OFF by simply pressing the DISPLAY button on your
VK-R3 remote control transmitter.
Each press will reduce the brightness of display and LED indicators in steps
from full ON to OFF, and then one press back to full ON. The LED indicators
will dim but never turn completely OFF. With the display OFF, issuing any
remote control command that would normally require a display change (i.e.:
Volume, Input selection, Fade) will automatically turn the display back ON.
MUTE Function:
The VK-33 has two mute modes: manual and automatic. The blue LED above the
Mute button goes ON when the unit is in MUTE state. To MUTE the VK-33,
depress the MUTE button located on the right side of the front panel. Depressing
this button again will return the unit to its normal operation and turn the mute
LED off.
When the unit is powered up it automatically self-mutes until the proper operating
points of the circuitry are reached. It will then automatically go into Play mode,
provided the Mute function was not activated (the blue Mute LED is Off).
Turning the VK-33 OFF even for short time, will make the unit reset its power
sequencing circuit and mute its output.
It will then require 50 seconds for the
unit to become operational again.
