Fault Reporting
The Nº502, as the Master device, is capable of reporting selected error
conditions of the Slave devices. Error messages are posted on the front
panel and main displays when the failure event occurs in the Slave device.
The error message identifies the failure and the identity of the Slave
device experiencing the failure.
The error conditions of the Slave devices that the Nº502 can report are:
• Slave Device DC Offset – indicates that the Slave device is experi-
encing a signal-related fault.
• Slave Device Over Current – indicates that the Slave device is
experiencing an over-current condition.
• Slave Device Over Temperature – indicates that the Slave device
is overheating.
• Signal – indicates that the Slave has had a general signal fault.
• Power – indicates that the Slave has had a power failure.
• Unknown – indicates that the Slave has a fault condition that is not
supported by the current ML Net version.
Using Surround Modes
The Nº502 Media Console logically presents the available list of surround
modes based upon the detected input and the system setup. This process
simplifies surround mode selection by presenting only the relevant modes
for each Activity. The available surround modes are then assignable to any
relevant Activity.
Selecting A New
Surround Mode
The surround mode for the current Activity can be changed via the
Surround button.
1. Press the Surround button to display the list of surround modes. This
list is dynamically built by the Nº502 and includes all of the modes
available for the current Activity, based on the Activity setup and the
incoming source.
2. Use the  and  buttons to scroll through the list. The current mode
is displayed in red text. Repeated presses of the Surround button also
scrolls through the list.
3. Press the Enter button or the  button to select the desired surround
mode. The selected surround mode now displays in red text,
indicating that it is now the active mode.
4. To close the list, press either the  button or the Menu button.
The current Activity now has a new surround mode. However, this is a
temporary change and may be lost when a new Activity is selected or if
the input source is interrupted.
