Front and rear panels¶
Basic operation¶
The front panel and rotary encoder provide access to the key features of the miniDSP Flex HT. These can also be accessed with a remote control.
-
To change the volume, rotate the encoder. The volume changes in 0.5 dB steps. Minimum volume is -127.5 dB and maximum volume is 0.0 dB.
-
To select a preset, press the encoder knob once, then rotate until the desired preset number is displayed. Either press the encoder knob again or wait for a second. The display will show "Pls wait..." while the new preset is being loaded, and then return to normal.
-
To select an input source, press the encoder knob twice, then rotate the encoder until the desired input source is displayed. Either press the encoder knob or wait for a second and the display will return to normal with the new input selected.
-
To turn Dirac Live filtering on and off, press the encoder knob three times, then rotate the encoder knob until the desired selection (on or off) is displayed. Either press the encoder knob or wait for a second and the display will return to normal with the Dirac Live status:
- To mute output, press and hold the encoder knob. When the display changes to show "Mute?," release the knob. To unmute, repeat this procedure.
- To put the Flex HT into standby, press and hold the encoder knob. When the display changes to show "Standby?," release the knob. To take it out of standby, press the encoder knob.
Tip
All these operations can also be performed with the remote control.
Rear panel connections¶
-
DC power. The supplied 12 VDC power supply includes a set of interchangeable power pins for USA, UK, Europe and Australia. Fit the correct pins for your country. Connect the DC plug to the 12 VDC power socket.
-
HDMI ARC/eARC. Connect to the HDMI ARC/eARC port of a TV to receive audio.
-
USB port. Used for both configuration/control and audio streaming. Connect to an available USB port on your computer. This port can also be connected to a network streamer with USB output for audio playback.
-
Trigger out. Connect to trigger input on other equipment to turn it on and off. See also Trigger output timing.
-
Optical digital input. Connect a stereo digital source using a TOSLINK optical cable. Sample rates from 32 up to 216 kHz are supported.
-
Coax digital input. Connect a stereo digital source using an RCA cable. Sample rates from 32 up to 216 kHz are supported.
-
Reset button. For use in specific circumstances only. See the Trouble-shooting and Support section.
-
Analog outputs. Connect equipment such as power amplifiers and subwoofers using RCA cables. Ensure that your connections match the routing and crossovers that you have set up internally. The maximum output voltage is 2.0 Vrms.
Warning
Apply power to the miniDSP Flex HT only after all input and output connections have been made.
