How to customise 518
The 518 comes configured in Resolution Enhancement mode (Type 1)
and needs no customising to become operational.
There are a very large number of different configurations possible. This
section tells you how to change the configuration.
Customising, general procedure
518 has four operating modes (not to be confused with setup Types):
• Normal
• Standby
• Type
• Config
Normal and Standby are the everyday operating modes: the operating
instructions refer to these.
Type and Config are used to make choices about the way 518 works.
These are described in the section: ‘Configuring 518, an overview' on
page 37.
How to change to Type or Config
To change to Type or Config you use the same basic procedure.
1. Switch off any power amplifiers that are connected to the system.
2. Switch off the 518 using the power switch on the back.
3. While pressing the specific key for the operating mode you want on the
518 front panel, switch the power on again.
518 will display a message to inform you which mode it is in.
4. Release the key
At this stage you can make the adjustments required.
In step 3, the front panel key is:
• Type – press and hold Source.
• Config – press and hold Display.
• Normal – do not use any key!
