Guided Tour - R32 Front Panel
2d: RF (Radio Frequency) Level meter - This six-segment "ladder" meter (similar to the
VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates the strength of the UHF signal being
received. When all segments are lit, the incoming RF signal is at optimum strength; when
only the left-most segment is lit, the incoming RF signal is at minimum strength. If no
segments are lit, no signal is being received; check to ensure that the transmitter is on and
that it is set to the same Group and Channel as the receiver. See the "Setting Up and
Using the Synth 32 System" section on page 11 in this manual for more information.
2e: AF (Audio Frequency) Level meter - This six-segment "ladder" meter (similar to the
VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates the presence of audio signal. When all
segments are lit, the outgoing audio signal is at maximum strength; when only the left-most
segment is lit, the outgoing signal is at minimum strength.
2f: Mute indicator - Lights to indicate that the R32 is muted (no sound output), either
because the transmitter has been turned off or because of poor signal reception (due to
weak signal, excess modulation noise, or because signal is being received from another
manufacturer's equipment). Note that it takes about half a second before the Mute
indicator turns on or off after a transmitter is muted or unmuted.
3: Frequency / Group increment/decrement buttons - Use these to select the Group
and Channel you wish to use. The "up" button increases the setting by one, while the
"down" button decreases the setting by one. Hold down the button for fast adjustments.
Only available Channels within each group are shown (see Appendix B: Channel Plan on
page 54 in this manual for a complete listing). See the "Setting Up and Using the Synth 32
System" section on page 11 in this manual for more information.
4: Mute (noise squelch) control - This control determines the maximum range of the R32
before audio signal dropout. Although it can be adjusted using the supplied plastic
screwdriver, it should normally be left at its factory setting. See the "Setting Up and Using
the Synth 32 System" section on page 11 in this manual for more information.
5: Volume control - This knob sets the level of the audio signal being output through both
the balanced and unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel. Reference level is obtained
when the knob is turned fully clockwise (to its "10" setting).
6: Power switch - Use this to turn the R32 power on and off. When the receiver is on, the
backlit LCD display (see #2 above) is lit.
