NAud - Non Audio Muting
Elgar Plus is normally set to mute if the Non-Audio message flag in the incoming
data stream is On – identifying the source as a corrupt data stream, CD-ROM or
other non-audio format.
We have found that some audio CDs actually have the Non-Audio flag set! To
listen to such disks, the automatic muting must be TEMPORARILY disabled.
IMPORTANT! Listening to a CD-ROM is very unpleasant and can cause damage to your
ears, power amplifier and loudspeakers. Use this mode with care. You
should turn Non-Audio Muting back on as soon as possible – we advise you
not to leave Elgar Plus in this mode.
Override Non-Audio Muting x
The most convenient way to over-ride the Non-Audio muting for individual
tracks is as follows.
do this: When NonAudio is displayed, press the Mute button. Elgar Plus will play the
track normally. Press the Mute button again to mute the outputs and restore
Non-Audio muting.
The over-ride is cancelled at power down or when the unit re-locks, avoiding the
risk that the unit will be left for extended periods without protection.
Disabling Non-Audio Muting x
If for some reason, you need to disable Non-Audio muting for longer periods,
you can turn it off in the Function Menu as follows.
do this: Open the Function Menu and step through until the display shows NAud:Mut.
do this: To ignore the non-audio flag, press the
Select button once and the display will
change to NAud:Ign.
Elgar Plus is now set to ignore non-audio message flags – and your protection
against playing non-audio data is removed. When powered up in this mode,
“Ignoring Non-Audio Flag” scrolls across the display to warn you.
Restoring Non-Audio Muting x
To turn non-audio muting back on:
do this: Open the Function Menu and step through until the display shows NAud:Ign.
do this: Press the
Select button once and the display will change to NAud:Mut.
