14 - TUTORIAL - Linking the L and R channels 4 Press the [DISPLAY] key to return to the equalization screen. NOTE This operation will clear the entire contents of the current memory area. Don't do this to settings you wish to keep. Linking the L and R channels Frequently you will want to set up the L and R channels identically (at least for most of the settings), and then tweak the L and R channels separately. Linking the channels is the way to achieve this. To link the channels, press one of the two channel keys (either [L/]), and while holding it down, press the other one. Only the settings of the first channel you pressed will be displayed, and the LED on that key will light. Linking the channels does not automatically copy all parameters from one channel to the other. Only the parameters that you create or change while the channels are linked will be made to both channels. Making graphic equalizer settings Here is where the user interface of the YDG2030 really makes graphic equalization easy. For the most part, you will never need to set any parameters numerically (unless you want to)- all settings can be displayed in traditional graphic equalizer format on the screen. The YDG2030 has 30 bands per channel, each settable to ±12 or ±6dB (depending on the mode), in 1/2 dB steps. 1 Press the [DISPLAY] key until you see a screen similar to the one shown. (There are two screen displays that look very much alike; choose the one that does not have the word SWEEP in the top right corner.) The actual settings on your screen will probably be different to the ones shown here. 2 Turn the F rotary encoder, and notice how the dotted bar moves to the left and right. This is the frequency selector-any changes you will make with the G (gain) rotary encoder affect only this frequency. 3 Once you have decided on the frequency of which you wish to alter the gain, turn the G rotary encoder to move the "slider" up or down. The values of F and G (frequency and gain) are also given numerically at the top of the screen. If you boost the 630 Hz band by 12dB, the screen should look like the one on the left. Steps 2 and 3 can be repeated as many times as necessary to create the desired settings. NOTE Remember that the settings for only one channel are displayed at a time, and you can toggle between them with the [L/] keys. If you have linked the channels, the channel displayed will be the one indicated at the top left of the screen (Lch or Rch). YDG2030
