10 – 16. Front panel controls


The front panel includes an LCD touchscreen and two knobs plus five buttons positioned underneath the
display. These buttons allow you to control the Argo without its remote. The functions of the buttons are shown
using icons on the touchscreen. Here are the functions of the buttons and knobs:

10. Balance

This knob adjusts left-to-right balance when an input screen is displayed—i.e., when an input is selected. Turn
the knob counterclockwise to shift the balance to the left, clockwise to shift the balance to the right. An
onscreen indicator will indicate if the balance is centered or how far it is shifted to one side or the other.

11. Volume


The volume control is always active when the Argo is powered up and the mute is deactivated. Note that the
control is calibrated in negative decibels (-dB), reaching maximum volume at 0.0 dB and minimum at -99.0 dB.
Thus, when you turn the volume up (clockwise), the number on the front display will decrease. When you turn
the volume down (counterclockwise), the number will increase. The adjustments steps are in 1 dB increments
between -99.0 dB and -50.0 dB, and 0.5 dB increments from -49.5 dB to 0.0 dB.


12. Home

This button brings you to the input select screen no matter which control screen you are currently viewing.
