• Audio Configuration
• Unit Configuration

The contents of these Menus are shown below

DISPLAY CONFIGURATION
OPTION	Settings	Description	Default Setting
Display Brightness	Auto or Percentage (2% to 100%)	If set to ‘Auto’, the display brightness will change with the surrounding lighting conditions (dimmer surroundings => dimmer display / brighter surroundings => brighter display). To select ‘Auto’, scroll up or down the percentage settings and the ‘Auto’ option will appear in place of 0%. With ‘Percentage’, you can select a setting between 2% and 100%. The display brightness will (while out of standby) remain set to the specified brightness setting.	100%
Display Content	Source and Volume Volume Source Last Used	If set to ‘Source and Volume’, both the currently selected source and the current volume setting will be displayed on the front panel. If set to ‘Volume’, only the current volume setting will be displayed. If set to ‘Source’, only the current source setting will be displayed. If set to ‘Last Used’, the last setting (source or volume) to be adjusted will remain on the display. Note:The above settings are applicable only when the unit is out of standby, is not in display-sleep mode and is not being adjusted.	Source and Volume
Display Timeout	1 - 10 seconds	Determines how long, after an adjustment is made, before the display reverts to its ‘Display Content’ setting as detailed above.	2 seconds
Sleep Display Delay	Delay in Minutes and Seconds (0 seconds - 5 minutes)	The time setting determines how long after the last command has been received that the display goes to sleep (where only 3 dots are visible on the display). If set to ‘Off’, the display will not go to sleep	off
SOURCE CONFIGURATION
OPTION	Settings	Description	Default Setting
Name	N/A	Allows you to customise the input name as it appears on the display. Any name can be entered, up to a maximum of 12 characters (including spaces). To change the selected input name: Use the ▼/▲ keys on the handset or SOURCE – / + keys on the front panel to change the flashing character. Use the ▶ key on the handset or VOLUME + key on the front panel to move to the next character. Use the ◀ key on the handset or VOLUME – key on the front panel if you wish to move to the previous character. Once you are happy with your changes press ● on the handset or �STANDBY on the front panel. To exit and go back to the menu, repeatedly press the ◀ key on the handset or VOLUME – on the front panel.	Socket=Name Aux=Aux Input 1=MajikCD Input 2=Input 2 Input 3=Input 3 Input 4=Input 4 Input 5=Input 5 Input 6=Phono
Type
Volume Offset	-15 to +15	Allows the volume level of each source input to be adjusted up or down, relative to the others. Allows you to equalise the volume across all sources. For example if a CD player and a radio tuner are connected, the CD player’s output volume may be louder than that of the tuner so this feature saves volume adjustment when switching between these sources. Note:The volume difference will not be visible on the volume display – so when switching between offset sources, the volume display will not reflect the offset.	0
AUDIO CONFIGURATION
OPTION	Settings	Description	Default Setting
Volume Rate	1/10 - 10/10	Allows you to adjust the rate at which the volume changes when the VOLUME – / + keys are held down.	8/10
Mute Rate	1/10 - 10/10	Allows you to adjust the rate at which the volume mutes/unmutes when the MUTE key is pressed.	8/10
Volume Limit	0 - 100	Allows you to limit the unit’s maximum volume. For example, if you set the volume limit to 60, the volume cannot be raised above 60.	100
Volume Preset	0 - 100	Allows you to adjust the volume level that the unit will be set to when it comes out of standby.	40
Headphone Offset	-15 to +15	Allows the volume of the headphone output to be adjusted up or down, relative to the loudspeaker volume. This option enables you to compensate for the different outputs of different headphone types. So after adjusting the offset, when headphones are connected or disconnected, the volume should not require adjusting.	0
UNIT CONFIGURATION
