Precautions
Operate unit only on the specified supply voltage.
Disconnect power cord by connector only. Do not pull on cable portion.
Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on power cord. A damaged cord
can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check power cord for
excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.
Ensure unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock hazard.
Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous nature.
Ensure power cord is firmly plugged into AC outlet.
Do not operate unit in hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheres. Doing so
could result in fire, explosion, or other dangerous results.
Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign materials to enter the unit. Doing
so could result in fire, other hazards, or unit malfunction.
If foreign material does enter the unit, turn power off and disconnect power cord
immediately. Remove material and contact authorized service representative if
damage has occurred.

[Circuitry Access]
Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access circuitry with power applied to the
unit! Turn power off and disconnect power cord prior to removal. Internal servicing /
adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor.
Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even
after power is disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are
especially hazardous. Avoid contact with any capacitors.
Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed.
Operating unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or
unit malfunction.
If abnormal smells or noises are noticed coming from the unit, turn power off
immediately and disconnect power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If
problems similar to above occur, contact authorized service representative before
attempting to again operate unit.
To rack mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or
materials other than those supplied. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the internal
circuits or components of the unit. If you remove the rubber feet attached on the unit,
do not reinsert the screws securing the rubber feet.
The consumables used in unit must be replaced periodically. For further details on
which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the
specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the
consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used,
they should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing the consumables,
contact your dealer.

4. Front Panel Operations
4-1. Powering ON
Turn the power ON after all system connections are complete. The indicators on the front panel
light up during startup. When startup is complete, the indicators will go off. The UNIT ID SEL
menu will appear if no FA-9500/FA-9520 is connected.
4-2. Basic Operations
This section explains how to select menus and parameters.
Most of the menus can be controlled by these basic operations. However, some menus work
differently. See the descriptions given for each menu for details.
The FA-95RU has two menu operation modes: NORMAL mode, in which setting changes
immediately take effect, and LIVE SAFE mode, in which some settings request confirmation
before changes take effect. NORMAL and LIVE SAFE modes can be selected in the FRONT
OPERATION menu (sec. 6-2-1). Factory default is NORMAL mode. Menus that request setting
confirmation are shown in the menu list in “Menu Buttons” in the FA-9500/FA-9520 Operation
Manual with a black circle (●).

4-2-1. Accessing Menus
Every press of the VIDEO/AUDIO button alternates the menu button assignments between
video menus and audio menus. The button indicators light up green when the buttons are
accessible to video menus that are indicated on the top row of each menu button. They light
up orange when they are accessible to audio menus that are indicated on the bottom row of
each menu button.
Pressing a menu button displays the corresponding menu on the menu display. Menus are
divided into categories. The single-arrow buttons allow you to move between menus if the
selected menu button has multiple menu pages in the category. The single-arrow button
lights up when there are more menus to be accessed in the direction. If the single-arrow
button is unlit, the direction is not accessible.
The double-arrow buttons allow you to go to the first menu of the menu button.
Menu Buttons
In the example above, the PROCESS/SDI AUDIO button has been pressed, so that the
VIDEO PROC AMP menu is displayed.

4-2-2. Arrow Buttons
Double-arrow buttons (up and down)
<NORMAL mode>
The double-arrow buttons allow you to go to the first menu of the video or audio menus that
are assigned to the respective menu buttons. These buttons can also navigate
STATUS/OTHER video related menus (designated by “◊” in the menu list).
<LIVE SAFE mode>
Button functions are the same as NORMAL mode, however, double-arrow buttons are
inoperative while single-arrow buttons are blinking (indicating the FA-9500/FA-9520 is in the
setting change confirming state, because a parameter in one of the menus requiring a setting
change confirmation has been changed).
Single-arrow buttons (up and down)
<NORMAL mode>
The single-arrow buttons allow you to move between menus within the menus that are
assigned to respective menu buttons.
When it reaches the last menu, the light goes off.
<LIVE SAFE mode>
Single-arrow buttons blink when a parameter in one of the menus requiring a setting change
confirmation is changed. To confirm the change, press the single down arrow button.
Pressing the single up arrow button cancels the change, and the parameter before change
will be displayed.
While single-arrow buttons are blinking, all buttons except single-arrow buttons are disabled
until either single-arrow button is pressed.
Menus that request setting confirmation are shown with a black circle (●) in the menu list in
the FA-9500/FA-9520 Operation Manual.
4-2-3. Consecutive Viewing of Settings
<NORMAL mode>
While a menu button is turned on, the menu display will be in consecutive display mode when
both single (up and down) arrow buttons are pressed simultaneously. Both single arrow
buttons blink when they are in consecutive display mode. To exit the mode, simultaneously
press both arrow buttons again. Then arrow buttons will stop blinking.
The single down and up arrow buttons, while in consecutive display mode, can consecutively
display all menus in which menu list settings can be changed, from the first to last or last to
first menu item. Meanwhile, holding down the single down or up arrow button also allows you
to consecutively view menus.
<LIVE SAFE mode>
Button functions are the same as NORMAL mode, however, consecutive display mode is
inoperative while single-arrow buttons are blinking (indicating the FA-9520 is in the setting
change confirming state, because a parameter in one of the menus requiring a setting
change confirmation has been changed). Consecutive display becomes operable when the
change is either confirmed or canceled.
Order of Consecutive Menu Display
VIDEO Menus (Lit green)
The single down-arrow button consecutively displays menu pages from VIDEO PROC AMP
of PROCESS to CONV2 ANC OUT1 of STATUS in the menu list in the FA-9500/FA-9520
Operation Manual. On the other hand, the single up-arrow button consecutively displays
menu pages from CONV2 ANC OUT1 of STATUS to VIDEO PROC AMP of PROCESS in the
menu list.
