| INDICATORS |
Meter Channel:
Tells what parameter is displayed on the
D'Arsonval meter
Attenuation:
Loudness control attenuation
in 0.5 dB steps
Stereo:
TSG is in stereo mode
Mono:
TSG is in mono mode
Sync:
Positive indication that video
sync is being received and TSG is locked.
Stereo Rev:
Alarm that one channel of incoming audio
is reversed, causing monaural cancellation
Fuse:
Indicates
primary AC fuse blown
BTSC board LEDs:
LEDs on BTSC
board for setting precise 100% reference level |
| |
|
| CONTROLS (front panel) |
Meter Select:
Positions meter (as indicated by meter
channel LEDs) on desired parameter
Input Level:
Sets
the level of Left & Right audio into the TSG;
if the input board is strapped for matrix input,
sets Sum and Difference levels
Mono/Stereo:
Switches
the TSG alternately between monaural and stereophonic
operation

Loudness Step:
Each time pressed, reduces program level
0.5 dB
Loudness Reset:
Smoothly restores program level
to normal use after Loudness Step
Gate:
Sets threshold
of gain expansion on quiet program material and prevents "pumping"
HFR:
