The input level meters are displayed when you select the GAIN parameter for an active input which has been selected in the Setup menu.

When GAIN is selected, two on-screen horizontal bar meters display peak incoming signal level. The highest peak level is shown in dB in a separate text line, and as an arrow in the the meter display. White, yellow and red sections of the bar meter show increasing levels. The white portion is shown in 3dB increments, the yellow and red portions are shown in 1.5dB incre- ments. An enlarged block at -21dB indicates the reference level used with a Dolby calibration tone source.

The peak level display can be refreshed by pressing DONE to exit, then pressing SELECT to return to the display.

Input Effect "FX" Assignment

Each input has an associated name which is displayed during normal operation whenever the input is selected. The default names correspond to the labels on the DC-2 remote control and the front and rear panels. These names can be customized to more accurately reflect your system configura- tion.

To assign a new name (up to 8 characters) for an input, select NAME from the Input Configuration menu, and EDIT INPUT NAME from the sub- menu. The display will show the current name with a cursor marking the character position to be modified. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to select a new character for that position, and SELECT to move the cursor to another position. Press DONE twice to return to the Input Configuration menu.

This control allows you to restore the factory name for the currently selected input. Pressing SELECT displays the message PRESS SELECT TO RE- STORE INPUT NAME. Pressing SELECT again restores the name and exits to the Input Configuration menu.

The DC-2 has the ability to automatically load an effect whenever an input is chosen. For example, if you primarily listen to CDÕs with the CONCERT HALL effect, the DC-2 can be set to load this effect when the CD input is chosen. (You can listen to any similar type of effect using the EFFECT button on the front panel or FX button on the remote control.) If you select USE LAST, the DC-2 will load the last effect used for the selected input. Any effect can be assigned to any or all of the eight inputs.
