2.6 Navigating the Menus
When the AP20 is first powered up, the home screen (main operator menu) will appear. Selecting the
“Menu” button from the home screen will access the “System Setup” screen. Once you have navigated
through sub-menus, selecting the “System” button always returns you to the “System Setup” screen.
Selecting “Home” from a sub-menu returns you directly to the home screen. If “Menu” is then selected,
the AP20 returns to the last selected sub-menu.
The “Back” button works like the back button of an internet browser, and may be used to return through
the history of previously selected sub-menus.
If the following symbol appears on the screen, it indicates that the front panel adjustment knob may be
used as a navigation tool (usually to scroll through a list or to increase/decrease values):
Note: When using a laptop to VNC into the AP20, use the up and down arrows to mimic the
scrolling action of the front panel adjustment knob.
Note: When using a VNC device that doesn’t have a keyboard, such as a tablet, arrow keys
may be enabled/disabled by double tapping the fader level display box on the Home screen.
2.7 About Formats
The AP20 facilitates the process of creating customized audio formats, in addition to providing a set of
pre-built formats that are ready to use.
The buttons along the bottom of the AP20 Home screen are the default formats or formats that have been
created by the installation technician for a particular application. Each format consists of a set of
discrete settings: an Input Source, Format Options, EQ settings, and Channel Profile, as illustrated below
(Figure 13). If there are more than 8 formats available, then butt
on 8 may be programmed as the “more”
button which allows access to all available formats.
The EQ setup and Channel Profiles are named groups of settings. Each format is assigned an EQ setup
and Channel Profile. If the setup does not require multiple EQ setups or Channel Profiles, then each
format by default uses the current setup.
System setup, Network, Automation, Film Setup and Bass Enhancement are global settings.
