Menus
Change Headshell
This menu function allows multiple arms or headshells to be used. All input settings are
associated with the input and headshell in use and may be different for each combination.
The menu automatically mutes the audio and allows selection of the required headshell.
The input can be selected using the input buttons at the same time.
Welcome
The welcome screen is displayed at power-up and may also be displayed from the Wel-
come menu. This screen shows the current software version in the unit.
Initialise
This menu option may be used to return the unit to factory defaults and reset the internal
memory. Use with caution as all user settings will be lost.
USB Port
The USB port allows the user to record to a computer for ripping, archiving or restoration.
With modern operation systems such as Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OS-X, no
special driver is required. The device will be recognised automatically and will be ready to
use immediately.
Any good audio recording software may then be used to record from Vinyl.
The Analogue Monitor output RCA connectors and SPDIF output will then carry the replay
output from the computer. The monitor outputs would typically be connected to the amplifi-
er 'Tape' inputs or to a DAC to enable monitoring of the recording.
Record Level
The record level may be adjusted in the computer recording software but clipping may oc-
cur in the Agena if an inappropriate gain setting is chosen for the cartridge. This clipping
cannot be reduced in the computer and therefore a different gain setting should be chosen
in Agena to achieve optimum performance.
