RECORD: Select “ON” when recording thereby switching off TAPE INPUT. This avoids feedback in situations where a tape recorder is connected to both TAPE INPUT and TAPE OUTPUT. In the “OFF” position both TAPE INPUT and TAPE OUTPUT are active. REC ON/OFF function can also be changed without the amplifi er being in SERVICE MODE.
CONTRAST: Used for adjusting the contrast in the display. Contrast can also be adjusted, without the amplifi er being in SERVICE MODE.
CODE: In connection with an upgrading of a LogiBit 1200 to a LogiBit 1260 it is necessary to type in a code (see also the next point ID). After the code has been typed in, the amplifi er should be switched off for a short period to allow the upgrading to take effect.
ID: Before you can receive the code used in upgrading a LogiBit 1200 to a LogiBit 1260 it is necessary to give the ID-number of the amplifi er to your Logia dealer.
AUTOCAL: In connection with a new installation, changes of the area size or changes in the dimensions of the teleloop cable, AUTOCAL shall be “ON” the fi rst time the amplifi er is turned on. In this position the amplifi er calibrates with the teleloop cable. When the calibration is fi nished AUTOCAL should be in the “OFF” position. Thereby you avoid hearing on the teleloop the calibra­ ting signals the amplifi er uses when it is turned on. After the amplifi er has completed its calibrating procedure for the fi rst time, the current in the teleloop cable will automatically be set to 1 ampere. LA VOL will be automatically set to 0 dB.
LA VOL: Used to adjusting the current in the teleloop cable and thereby the strength of the magnetic fi eld. After the amplifi er has completed its calibrating procedure for the fi rst time, the current in the teleloop cable will automatically be set to 1 ampere. LA VOL will be automatically set to 0 dB.
BASS: Select BASS to adjust the bass on the teleloop signal.
AGC MODE: Menu point REMOTE allows, that the AGC-circuit can be
switched on and off via the 25 pin Sub-D port marked CONTROL on the back panel of the amplifi er. Select “OFF” to switch off the AGC-circuit. Under normal operating conditions, select “ON”, to activate the AGC-circuit.
AGC GAIN: Used to adjust the number of required dBs that the AGC-circuit should use to strengthen a weak signal. T he AGC-circuit is able to reduce a powerful signal with up to 20 dBs.
TREBLE: Select TREBLE to adjust the treble on the teleloop signal.
