Model VM88 Owner’s <strong>Manual</strong><br />

VM88 Initial State<br />

The following explains what to do the first time you use the VM88 directly from the shipping carton.<br />

When the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet and the VM88 POWER is switched on, the VM88<br />

display and the operating panel lamps will become active as shown below.<br />

This is the same as when the CPU is reset by pressing the RESET switch.<br />

Character display section:<br />

Following the -><br />

display, [Init.Mix] will be<br />

displayed. If the INPUT fader/MAS-<br />

TER fader is manipulated in this state,<br />

will be lit behind the [Init.Mix] display<br />

(Refer to next page).<br />

Channel fader display section:<br />

After entering the channel parameter<br />

edit mode, the INPUT fader<br />

position of the channel selected by<br />

the CH ON/CH SEL key will be indicated<br />

by numbers 00 ~ 99.<br />

In the initial state, nothing is displayed.<br />

For details, refer to [Channel<br />

parameter edit mode] on page<br />

20.<br />

MASTER fader section:<br />

The MASTER fader position is indicated<br />

by numbers 00 ~ 99.<br />

The initial setting is [00] which is<br />

the initial mix setting (The fader<br />

[MIN] position).<br />

DIGITAL IN status display section:<br />

The DIGITAL IN status will be displayed<br />

and during initial setup [44.1kHz] will<br />

be lit. For details, refer to “Normal mix<br />

mode” on page 15.<br />

Scene number display section:<br />

The current active scene<br />

number (00 ~ 20) is displayed.<br />

In the initial setting,<br />

[00] will be displayed.<br />

Level display section:<br />

If in any mode except the channel<br />

parameter edit mode and the fader adjust<br />

mode, the signal level input to each INPUT<br />

connector for channels 1 ~ 8 will be<br />

indicated by the prefader. In other words,<br />

the input signal level will be constantly<br />

displayed regardless of the INPUT fader<br />

position. At TRIM knob to adjust the gain<br />

is provided to match the sound source<br />

input for each INPUT for channels 1 ~ 8.<br />

By watching the level display while<br />

adjusting the gain, the most suitable gain<br />

adjustment can be made. Channels L and<br />

R display the signal level which is output<br />

from the STEREO OUT L, R connectors but,<br />

in the initial state, the level meter will not<br />

show any value as the MASTER fader will<br />

be at [MIN]. For both inputs and outputs,<br />

if the signal level reaches [OL] (over load),<br />

the sound will distort and therefore, the<br />

TRIM and INPUT faders should be checked<br />

and adjusted if necessary.<br />

CH ON/CH SEL key:<br />

The channel to be edited can be selected<br />

with this key in the channel parameter<br />

edit mode and, in other modes, each<br />

channel can be switched ON/OFF. In<br />

the initial state, all channels will be indicated<br />

as ON and the key LED's will all<br />

light.<br />

Status indicator:<br />

The dot selected by the<br />

channel parameter edit<br />

mode will light but<br />

nothing lights in the<br />

initial state.<br />

Refer to [Channel parameter<br />

edit mode] on<br />

page 20 for details.<br />

< Please remember! ><br />

* The scene number of the sber of the ssber of the scene memory which the user can setup are [01] ~<br />

[20] but the preset scene [00] cannot be changed. Refer to page 30 for details on the scene memory.<br />

* If, for some reason, you would like to return the VM88 setting to the factory default figure, refer to<br />

[Reset of VM88] on page 8.<br />
