UTILITY FUNCTIONS

The UTILITY button gives you access to several functions of the ML-9600 that are important to its

operation, but are not as obviously related to the acquisition, editing, and delivery of your music as

most other features of the machine.

The utility functions in the ML-9600 are accessed by pressing the UTILITY button. The first press of the

UTILITY button will take you to the last selected utility function. Subsequent presses of the UTILITY

button will select different functions, which are numbered Util1, Util2, etc.

8.1 UTIL1: METER MODE

The ML-9600 supports three different peak level metering modes: No Peak Hold, Momentary Peak

Hold, and Continuous Peak Hold. Figure 8.1.1 shows the level meter mode page.

Figure 8.1.1

Level Meter Mode Page

The only editable parameter in this page is the peak meter mode. Pressing UP/YES or DOWN/NO will

select between the three peak modes, described below.

No Peak Hold

This mode always displays the peak level of the audio.

Momentary Peak

This mode holds the peak value of the level meter for 1 second, or until the level exceeds the previously

held peak value, whichever is longer.

Continuous Peak

This mode holds the maximum peak meter value until either the machine is powered off, or you press

CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT simultaneously. This double key press will always clear the

stored peaks, regardless of which mode the machine is in.

8.2 UTIL2:TRACK/PLAYLIST/CD LOOP

It is sometimes desirable to loop a Track, Playlist, or a CD when playing back audio. To access the

various Loop modes, press the UTILITY button repeatedly until Utility Page 2 is displayed, as shown

in Figure 8.2.1.
