4. MENU STRUCTURE AND EDITING
This chapter describes all functions, operating steps and
parameter pages in full detail. While working with your DCX2496,
please keep the users manual on hand, and use it as a reference
in case of problems.
4.1 General operating structure and display
presentation
When you switch on your ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496, the
display shows a graphic with the current routing of the unit, i.e.
how inputs and outputs are linked to each other.
Use the buttons to the left of the output LED displays (SETUP,
MUTE etc.) to enter the various menus. Most of them include
several pages, which you can select with the PAGE buttons. The
PARAM button selects individual parameters from one page, the
data wheel edits them. Confirm new settings with OK, or cancel
your selection with CANCEL. This operating structure is the same
for all menus so it will not be repeated in each section of the manual.
The menu name is shown at the top-left of the display. Next to
this, and separated by an arrow, is the name of the current page
(e.g. SETUP ß IN/OUT). The page number of the corresponding
menu is shown on the right-hand side (e.g. 1/6 = page 1 of 6).
The bottom line also shows the menu name (e.g. SETUP). For
buttons IN A-C and OUT 1-6 (below the input/output LED displays),
the menus for the corresponding inputs/outputs are listed (IN A,
OUT 3 etc.). In addition, the output display also indicates the name
of the output (e.g. SUBWOOFER, RIGHT MID etc.).
4.2 SETUP menu
Use the SETUP menu to make basic adjustments necessary
for the operation of your ULTRADRIVE PRO. Press the SETUP
button to display the first page of this menu.
4.2.1 IN/OUT
Fig. 4.1: Setup ß In/Out
The parameter OUT CONFIGURATION selects the general
operating mode; in MONO mode input A is the preset signal source
for all outputs. In STEREO mode, three configurations are
available. Please use inputs A and B in these modes. The display
shows the OUT channels (L = LOW, M = MID and H = HIGH).
The stereo 3-way configuration LMHLMH has input A routed to
outputs 1, 2 and 3, and input B routed to outputs 4, 5 and 6. The
stereo 3-way configuration LLMMHH routes input A to outputs 1,
3 and 5, and input B to outputs 2, 4 and 6. The 2-way configuration
LHLHLH uses all three inputs; here, A can be routed to outputs 1
and 2, B to outputs 3 and 4, and C to outputs 5 and 6. This
application is used for 3 x 2-way speaker systems or triple
bi-amping (see chapter 6.3).

With the OUT STEREO-LINK function you can determine
whether processing with EQs, limiter, etc. is effective on the linked
outputs, or whether the settings for each output can be made
independently. When this function is enabled (ON), linking several
outputs to each other, the display will show small connecting lines
between the individual outputs.
The following link options (output configurations) are available:
1. MONO (no stereo links)
