The Level Meters
When the compressor is 
off, the behavior of the level meters is determined by the settings
of the 1dB SCALE, and PK HOLD switches.
When the compressor is 
on, pressing DISPLAY will cause gain reduction (in dB)  to be
displayed on the two right hand meters (2-channel mode) or on all four meters (4-channel
mode).
The following charts show all of the possible states of the level meter and the value in
decibels  for each state.
