IMPORTANT
Operation by the FA-95RU is ineffective, except for the ability to change its own
settings, unless it is connected to an FA-9500/FA-9520. To enable operation by the
FA-95RU, select and connect an FA-9500/FA-9520 to be controlled. See section 5.
“Establishing Connection with the FA-9500/FA-9520”for details on connecting
FA-9500/FA-9520 units.
4-2. Basic Operations
This section explains how to select menus and parameters.
Most of the menus can be controlled by these basic operations. However, some menus work
differently. See the descriptions given for each menu for details.
The FA-95RU has two menu operation modes: NORMAL mode, in which setting changes
immediately take effect, and LIVE SAFE mode, in which some settings request confirmation
before changes take effect. NORMAL and LIVE SAFE modes can be selected in the FRONT
OPERATION menu (sec. 6-2-1). Factory default is NORMAL mode. Menus that request setting
confirmation are shown in the menu list in “Menu Buttons”in the FA-9500/FA-9520 Operation
Manual with a black circle (●).
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the LOCK indicator on the front panel is turned off before starting an
operation with the connected FA-9500 or FA-9520 in FA-9500 mode. If the LOCK
indicator is lit, all operations on the front panel except the LOCK button are disabled.
Press and hold the LOCK button to enable operation.
See section 4-2-7. “Operation Lock Function (FA-9520)”for the lock function in the
FA-9520 in FA-9520 mode that is different from the above.
The description in Basic Operation starts based on an established connection. To
establish a connection with the FA-9500/FA-9520, see section 5. “Establishing
Connection with the FA-9500/FA-9520”.

4-2-1. Accessing Menus
Every press of the VIDEO/AUDIO button alternates the menu button assignments between
video menus and audio menus. The button indicators light up green when the buttons are
accessible to video menus that are indicated on the top row of each menu button. They light
up orange when they are accessible to audio menus that are indicated on the bottom row of
each menu button.
Pressing a menu button displays the corresponding menu on the menu display. Menus are
divided into categories. The single-arrow buttons allow you to move between menus if the
selected menu button has multiple menu pages in the category. The single-arrow button
lights up when there are more menus to be accessed in the direction. If the single-arrow
button is unlit, the direction is not accessible.
The double-arrow buttons allow you to go to the first menu of the menu button.
