When the mute button is activated, all speakers connected to the system will be silenced. Channels Display: On the right of the peak meter, there is a display showing the number of audio channels that is being used in the system. The number of channels can be changed in the speaker configuration panel. Peak Meter: The volume peak meter is located to the left of the channel display. The number of peak meters changes according to the number of channels used in the system. S/PDIF Output Status: The S/PDIF output status is located to the right of the Channel Display. If "Digital PCM" is shown, that indicates the audio system will allow a PCM music stream output from the S/PDIF output jack. Bass Management Indicator: The Bass Management Indicator is located below the Channel Display. Notice that the "Bass Management" and "Equalizer" functions can not be enabled at the same time. Equalizer Indicator: The Equalizer Indicator is located to the right of the Bass Management Indicator. As mentioned earlier, the Equalizer and Bass Management functions can not be enabled at the same time. Configuration Panels: On the bottom of the top panel, there is a row of buttons. When any of the buttons are activated (except the "Power" button), the bottom panel expands to show the selected panel.

The "Redirected Headphone" feature enables the user to hear the same audio that is being channeled to the front speakers. In this mode, once the headphone has been inserted the audio will be redirected from the speakers to the headphone. Please note that the "Independent Headphone" function requires two channels.
