Powering Up
Press the “I” side of the rear panel power switch to turn on the unit. The processor is designed to be turned on
and left on. Press the “O” side of the switch to turn off the unit for servicing.
When the Omnia-3 is first turned on, there is a few seconds of delay as the system starts up. An operating
system start up screen is displayed. Under normal conditions it should appear as:
Load Algorithm...
After approximately ten seconds, audio will be present from the analog and composite MPX outputs. The
AES/EBU output also becomes usable at this time. However, full initialization of the software is not complete
for several more seconds. After a few seconds, the Main Menu display will appear:
OMNIA.FM3turbo
udio Processing

Preset: Rock 2:09PM
At this point, the Omnia-3 is fully operational. The next chapter covers its operation through the front-panel
user interface.
