OPERATIONS AND SETTINGS

SGD1 has one multi-function knob button on the front of the unit which inte- grates all the functions and operations of SGD1.

1. Volume up and down control ( the default volume is -64dB)

   • The volume can be up and down when the knob is turned right or left
   • The LED lamp band will indicate the volume value

2. Mute analogue output XLR/RCA

   • Press the knob once and SGD1 will be in silent mode
   • Mute mode only works for analogue output (XLR/RCA)

3. Digital inputs switching

   • Press the knob once and turn the knob that will switch between the 6 kinds of input channels
   • From left to right: USB-B/USB-C/Bluetooth/AES/Toslink/Coaxial
   • The volume value of each input channel can be adjusted separately, and it will be protected even if the power goes off in memory

4. Filter modes switching

   • Long press the knob and turn the knob that will switch between the 7 kinds of filter modes
   • From left to right: APOD/BRIC/FAM/FAL/HYER/SLM/SLL
   • The filter mode of each input channel can be adjusted separately, and it will be protected even if the power goes off in memory

5. OTA mode setting and reset

   • Double press the knob three times and SGD1 will go into configuration network mode, at the same time all the LED indicators will turn on
   • Use the Esptouch APP(Can download from Apple store or Google play or www.soncoz.com) to configure SGD1 with 2.4G WiFi network
   • Every time after power off and restart, SGD1 will be networked to check whether there is any firmware to upgrade on the server
   • If there is a new firmware to upgrade, SGD1 will complete the upgrade and restart
   • If there is no updated firmware, SGD1 will turn off the 2.4G WiFi network in about 1 minute
   • Press the knob about 6 seconds will reset the system

REMOTE CONTROL
