5 Run time Mode

5.1 LCD Display

On power-up, the Dx46 boots and displays the run-time screen. The current preset memory location and name are
displayed as well as the configuration on which the preset is based.
CAUTION: Before operating the sound reinforcement system, and any time a new preset is recalled,
check the configuration display to make sure that it is appropriate for your system and
that connections to your system are correct for the current configuration. Failure to do so
could cause unexpected results or damage to the system or its components.
The LCD display's contrast and button brightness can be adjusted in the Setup Menu (see page 22) to accommo-
date different viewing angles. Additionally a screensaver can be activated. The screensaver dims the brightness of
the LEDs and buttons to 50% about 1 minute after the last action at the front panel. Additionally an floating EV logo
is shown instead of the run-time screen.

5.2 Level Meters

I S
NPUT IGNALS
During operation, the left and right input level meters display the signal present at the Dx46's analog and Digital in-
puts. The Dx46 does not itself have input level controls. Proper input level setting is accomplished by setting the
output level from the (L / R) bus outputs from the connected mixer or other audio source. Optimal signal-to-noise
performance is obtained when the nominal (average), input level consistently lights the +6dBu (green) and +12dBu
(yellow) LED indicators. As the Dx46 is a digital audio device – and digital clipping produces very un pleasant results
– the Clip (red) LED should never light. If it does, reduce the output level of the connected mixer. The -6dB PAD
can be used for adjusting the input level also.
