You can turn on more than one key to mute multiple mute groups. 3 To un-mute a mute group, press a lit SCENE MEMORY [1]-[8] key. Hint • The mute group mute on/off status is saved in the scene. However, you can also use the Recall Safe function to exclude the mute group status from scene recall. • If desired, you can cause the MUTE assign LEDs of the corresponding input channels to blink while the mute group is muted. To do so, turn on the DCA/MUTE FLASH INDICATE setting in the PREFERENCE 1 screen (UTILITY screen). Using the Mute Safe function If necessary, channels belonging to a mute group can be temporarily excluded from mute group operations (Mute Safe). 1 Press a [SEL] key to select the channel you want to exclude from mute groups. 2 In the SELECTED CHANNEL section, press the [MUTE SAFE] key to make the LED light. Mute Safe will be enabled for the corresponding channel. (In the case of an input channel, the [MUTE SAFE] LED in the channel strip will light.) In this state, muting an applicable mute group will not affect that channel. 3 To defeat Mute Safe, press the SELECTED CHANNEL section [MUTE SAFE] key once again to make the LED go dark. Hint Mute Safe settings are not saved in the scene. They will remain effective until you manually defeat them. 84 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner's Manual Operating section
