VOLUME PRESETS:
Volume presets. This function provides for an instant change to a predetermined volume
setting at any time. This may be convenient when switching between sources with different
output levels or for accurate and repeatable gain adjustments during testing of audio
equipment.
The VK-5i can store up to five user-defined volume settings. In addition, the sixth position is
reserved for the UNITY GAINn setting, useful and popular in Audio/Video system
installations. The UNITY GAIN position is NOT user programmable.
In the UNITY GAIN position the VK-5i gain is set to 0dB. The signal from the selected
source will propagate through the unit with its volume unchanged. This is commonly used in
Audio/Video installations, when the overall sound volume is adjusted using the surround
sound processor master volume control.
To store a volume setting:
1. Set the VK-5i volume to the desired level
2. Press the STORE button. The display will begin to flash
3. Press any Volume Preset button from 1 through 5. The volume setting number
will now be stored in this location
This preset volume associated with any of the five programmable buttons can be changed at
any time by simply following the same sequence.
To recall the volume setting:
1. Press the desired volume preset button (1 through 5) on the VK-R1 remote control
transmitter. The display will start flashing indicating the volume setting associated
with this button. (This is done for safety reason - to avoid a sudden unpredictable
change of volume).
The display will continue flashing for 10 seconds, during which time the previous
volume setting stays unchanged. If no further command is received during this time,
the display will return to the previous setting.
2. Pressing the same preset button for the second time will lock the desired volume
into the system and the volume will now change to the new selected setting.
