Power/data/audio LED — Indicates power is
applied. This LED also has two secondary
functions:
Serial communication function — The
Power/data/audio LED blinks off and
on to indicate that an IR signal has been
received.
Audio level function — In Audio Setup mode,
the Power/data/audio LED lights when
the selected input audio signal is > the
reference level and is unlit when the signal
is below the reference level. Adjust the
gain until the LED blinks frequently. If the
LED is almost always on, but occasionally
blinks off, the level is too high. If the LED
is almost always off, but occasionally
blinks on occasionally, the level is too low.
