  ADJUSTING THE LEVELS:
  By  default  the  state  of  the  screen  is  the 
following:
  Once  the  input  source  (s)  have  been 
connected to the amplifier´s cabinet, the user has 
to adjust the levels.
  For the two input channels (1 and 2), two 
independent  gain  controls  are  available.  Be 
careful when setting the input volume and do not 
exceed the maximum level shown on the meters: 
(input clip shown on channel one)
peak
meters
RMS
meter
Exceeding the limits
may cause
speaker failure!!
Exceeding the limits

  After  having  set  the  input  volume  values 
under the maximum level,  user has  to adjust 
ouput volume with the master control. The level 
is shown in the right meter of the screen. As with 
the inputs be careful not exceeding the limit: 
(LIMIT shown)
  After  these  two  volume  adjustments  the 
screen  will  show  something  like  this  (when 
having the input sources ON):
It  is  highly  recommendable 
working with output volume 
below 0dB. If maximum level 
is  required  user  should 
increase  the  output  level 
(higher than 0dB)
  MAIN MENU:
  As stated previously by pushing the encoder 
the user can access to the following options in 
the MENU:
  Note: to enter and select and option always push the encoder. For going back in the menu, the user 
has to select Back on the screen and press the encoder or just pushing the encoder.
  After 30 seconds without using the unit it will go back to the main screen automatically.
  PRESETS:
  Three factory settings (live,  dance,  monitor) 
depending on the type of music/use that has 
been configured inside the unit:
  With the encoder go to Preset Sub-menu and 
press the knob to access to the different options:
Notes:
  The only models in this series that do not 
have a display are: ACTION-S118A and ACTION-
S218A.
  In  the  model  ACTION-M512A  the  preset 
activated by  default  is  "Monitor"  while in  the 
other models it is "Live". While your preset is 
"Monitor"  the  display  will  turn  off  completely 
during use.
  If in the "LOGO" menu we have chosen the 
"Limit" option, the anagram will flash when the 
limiter is activated. If we have chosen "On" it will 
remain lit, while if the option chosen is "Off" it 
will remain off.
