UNCTIONS

 

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.

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. 
 

 

 

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.

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.
