Source Setup Menu

• Source Setup specifies the parameters for each

analog source. This includes which digital input
is assigned to each source. It also indicates the
analog input sensitivity. In addition you can
change the name of a source as it appears in
the On Screen and Front Panel displays.

• When you select a source you may also use the

LEFT and RIGHT keys to select which one of
the eight analog sources is to be set up. When
you select a Title, you may edit the source Title,
if you so desire. Press SEL and use the LEFT and
RIGHT keys to choose the character you want
to change, and the jog wheel (volume control
knob) to change the character. When the
editing is complete, press SEL to store the new
name. The table below lists the default names
for all the sources and provides a column to enter new names you have programmed.

• When you select Digital, you may use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to select which of the six digital sources is assigned

to the analog source being set up. You may assign a digital source to more than one analog source, if you so desire.

• When you select “Analog sens.”, you may adjust the input gain of the Analog to Digital converter. You can set the gain

to –6 dB, –3dB, 0dB or +3 dB. For CD players and other sources with a similar signal level we recommend either
–6 dB or –3 dB. This is to ensure an adequate overload margin (typically 3 Vrms with –3 dB and 4 Vrms with –6 dB).
Note: If the input has a lower level, you may set the input to be higher 0dB or +3 dB. This will result in a properly
reduced level of background noise. If you hear distortion on loud signals with an analog source, re-select
“Analog sens.” to a lower level.

• “Preset” means one of the 5 tone control (EQ) presets. This can also be set to none. You can have different tone

control presets for every input source.

• EXIT returns to the main menu.
