Signature 2.0
removed with the exception of the volume control.
Thus, if the unit was in Standby when power was
removed, it will return to Standby when power is
restored. If the unit was On and in an operating
condition when power was removed, it will turn on
and resume operation when the power is restored.
However, in this mode, the volume setting when the
unit is restored will be the level set in the Turn On
Vol settings shown above, not the actual volume
setting in use when power was removed.
Standby: When this option is selected, the
2.0 will go into the Standby mode when power is
restored, regardless of the state it was in when power
was removed. In this case, it will be necessary to turn
the unit on by pressing the Standby Switch 2 on
the front panel or the Main Power Switch a on
the remote if you wish to resume listening after a
power interruption.
On: When this option is selected, the 2.0 will turn
itself on when power is restored, regardless of the
state of the unit when power is removed. Thus, if
the unit was previously On, it will turn on again.
However, if the unit was in the Standby mode when
power was removed, it will turn on when power is
restored. This option may be useful when optional,
external power sense units are in use, or to make cer-
tain that the 2.0 is turned on again should there be a
power interruption during a VCR recording session.
The volume setting used when the unit is turned on
will be the setting for the Turn On Vol settings
shown above, not the actual volume setting that may
have been in use when power was removed.
Mute: When this option is selected, the 2.0 will
turn itself on when power is restored, regardless of
the state of the unit when power is removed. Thus,
if the unit was previously On, it will turn on again.
However, if the unit was in the Standby mode when
power was removed, it will turn on when power is
restored. However, unlike the On setting, when
Mute is selected, the volume will be muted when
power is restored and the 2.0 is once again turned
on. This option is useful to prevent unwanted system
operation if the 2.0 is used for unattended VCR
recording at late night hours, and you do not want
the unit to come up at a loud volume level should
the power be removed and then restored.
To make a change in this option, press the ‹ or ›
Menu Control buttons i until the desired setting is
displayed. When you have completed the necessary
change, press the ¤ Menu Control button i to
enter the setting to the 2.0’s memory and move to the
next step.
System Control and Unit ID
These settings help establish certain options for use when
the 2.0 is controlled by an external computer system or a
sophisticated remote control using RS-232 connections.
These settings are only used in complex installations, and
are most often used by installers specially trained in their
programming. In most instances, no adjustment is
required to these settings, and you may toggle to the
next set of commonly used controls by pressing the ¤
Menu Control button i twice until Display
Options is highlighted to resume normal setup.
The System Control line details what capabilities
are assigned to the rear panel RS-232 Control Port §.
The following options are available:
Lstn: In the “Listen” mode, the 2.0 will receive
commands that are sent to it through the RS-232
port, but will not send out any commands of its
own. Thus, it will react to incoming commands, but
not originate any commands from the 2.0’s front
panel or remote.
Talk: In the “Talk” mode, the 2.0 will echo all
commands it generates through the RS-232 port, but
it will not react to any incoming commands. Thus, it
will send through any operational change to the 2.0
from the front panel buttons or remote, but it will
not accept or react to any incoming commands.
L/Tk: In this mode, the 2.0 combines both of
the functions described above. That is, it will both
“Listen” to commands sent from an outside con-
troller, and will “Talk” by sending out echoes of
any command generated by the 2.0.
Off: When this option is selected, the 2.0’s rear
panel RS-232 port is totally disabled, and it will
neither accept nor send any commands.
