30. up alternately When only one trigger indication LED 21 lights 23 up the trigger sensivity is set too low or too high or the trigger frequency is set to a frequency which is not present in the used music Now you can turn one of the amplitude modulation potentiometers 22 clockwise for positive modulation or counter clockwise for negative modulation The amplitude of the associate filter type LP BP or HP will be modulated by the music signal The modulation is some kind of automatic sliding up and down the fader 9 10 or 11 according to the rhythm of the music This modulation changes the sound of the music To visualize the amplitude modulation the intensity of the slave frequency guiding LEDs 12 and master frequency guiding LEDs 13 will follow the modulation pattern when modulation is activated Do not exaggerate with the modulation depth the best results are obtained with the modulation depth set around the center position By turning the frequency modulation potentiometer 23 clockwise or counter clockwise the frequency modulation will be activated This modulation will follow the trigger pattern set by the slave trigger frequency potentiometer 8 and trigger sensivity potentiometer 18 Frequency modulation is some kind of automatic turning the master frequency potentiometer 7 according to the rhythm of the music The intensity of the master frequency indication ring LED s will also follow the trigger pattern during fr
31. y for the optimal working of the unit and to assure the safety of the user Always handle the power cord by the plug do not pull the cord Do not use damaged power cord or plug Damaged power cords or plugs can cause fire or create a shock hazard Do not open the unit There are no serviceable parts inside Only qualified service technicians can service the unit Do not expose to rain or water Do not spill liquid or insert objects inside the unit Rain water or liquid such as cosmetics as well as metal may cause electric shocks which can result in fire or shock hazard If anything gets inside immediately unplug the power cord If the unit is not used for a longer period more than one day it is recommended to disconnect the unit from the power supply Switching off the power switch does not completely isolate the unit WARNING The sound and intensity volume of this product can be very strong and if not used properly or if used in close proximity can cause temporary or permanent damage to one s hearing perhaps even deafness Use with caution and common sense INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT 1 2 The set can be used in every position Do not place the set into direct sunlight or in a warm humid or dusty place The operating environment temperature should be between 5 and 35 The relative humidity of the air should not exceed 85 Always place the unit in a well ventilated area To avoid disturbances do not place the set near dis
32. y indication ring When there is no frequency modulation 23 this ring will be blue static When the frequency modulation is activated the intensity of the LED s will follow the modulation Resonance potentiometer With this potentiometer it is possible to create a resonance peak at the frequency set by the master frequency potentiometer 7 By turning this potentiometer more clockwise the Restyler starts to oscillate at the frequency set by the master frequency potentiometer 7 ATTENTION This oscillation can damage speaker systems or human hearing So please be careful by using this control Trigger sensitivity This control sets the input level of the trigger system Trigger speed This control sets the reaction time of the trigger system When this control is set more clockwise the trigger acts faster more counter clockwise the trigger will be delayed Trigger transition Turning this potentiometer more counter clockwise the trigger system will follow the contours envelope of the music signal smoothly When the potentiometer is turned more clockwise the transitions between positive and negative trigger signal become more abrupt because the trigger signal becomes more a square wave Trigger indication LED s These LEDs display the trigger signal When the above LED lights up there is a positive trigger When the below LED lights up there is a negative trigger Amplitude modulation potentiometers With these potentiometers in
