Settings
The settings menu allows you to make function and visual adjustments
to the SP20. Touching the settings icon will take you to the main settings
menu where you can choose from a number of options to customize the
performance of the preamplier. Any time you are in the settings menu
or one of its submenus, you can touch the ‘Home’ icon in the top right
corner to return to the home page. Additionally, the settings icon will
turn red and function as a signal in the event that the tube hours counter
has exceeded 4000 hours (see the section ‘Tube Hours’ on page 16

slider is present, touching either the ‘L’ or ‘R’ will move balance from
the center point towards either the left or right channel, and the center
number will change (-22 to -1 is balanced left while 1 to 22 is balanced
right). Simultaneously, the balance icon will turn green, indicating the
balance is towards the left or right. Touching the number in the middle
of the balance slider will set it to 0 and re-center the balance.
