UTILITY FUNCTIONS
The UTILITY button gives you access to several functions of the ML-9600 that are important to its
operation, but are not as obviously related to the acquisition, editing, and delivery of your music as
most other features of the machine.
The utility functions in the ML-9600 are accessed by pressing the UTILITY button. The first press of the
UTILITY button will take you to the last selected utility function. Subsequent presses of the UTILITY
button will select different functions, which are numbered Util1, Util2, etc.
8.1 UTIL1: METER MODE
The ML-9600 supports three different peak level metering modes: No Peak Hold, Momentary Peak
Hold, and Continuous Peak Hold. Figure 8.1.1 shows the level meter mode page.
Figure 8.1.1
Level Meter Mode Page
The only editable parameter in this page is the peak meter mode. Pressing UP/YES or DOWN/NO will
select between the three peak modes, described below.
No Peak Hold
This mode always displays the peak level of the audio.
Momentary Peak
This mode holds the peak value of the level meter for 1 second, or until the level exceeds the previously
held peak value, whichever is longer.
Continuous Peak
This mode holds the maximum peak meter value until either the machine is powered off, or you press
CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT simultaneously. This double key press will always clear the
stored peaks, regardless of which mode the machine is in.
8.2 UTIL2:TRACK/PLAYLIST/CD LOOP
It is sometimes desirable to loop a Track, Playlist, or a CD when playing back audio. To access the
various Loop modes, press the UTILITY button repeatedly until Utility Page 2 is displayed, as shown
in Figure 8.2.1.
