Introduction Terms This section explains terminology specific to the ACD1. ■ Amp Editor This is computer application software. With this software, you can use your computer to monitor and control the ACD1 and the amplifiers connected to the ACD1. ■ Scene Settings such as Power-On/Standby or mute for each amplifier are collectively called a “scene.” By recalling a scene, the saved settings can be immediately applied to the amplifiers. The ACD1 can specify 49 scenes for each connected amplifier. ■ Sc
