3.8ANALOG INPUT LEVELS

For Sources set to Anlg-DSP or Anlg-Dir in menu 6, you can match input levels in MAIN to each other so there are no large changes in volume as you change Sources. This is also where recording level is set when using the AVM 50 as an analog-to-digital converter (see sections 3.6, 3.9, and 4.3).

If a source that is set to Analog-DSP is playing while you adjust the Input Level, you will notice a vertical bar graph to the left of the dB settings. With the On-Screen display, this Bar Graph has a green, pink, and red area. The pink area, when showing, represents the last 6 dB of the ‘clean’ range and the red area, when showing, indicates overload. On the Front Panel display the overload indication is the uppermost segment, and the one below it is the ‘6 dB or less remaining’ indicator.

Before making changes or adjustments in this menu, have all connected source components playing similar music material. Then, as you switch through each highlighted Source, you will hear that component play. This lets you know that each component is connected to the AVM 50, and it also allows for easy comparative level adjustments of analog sources. Remember, adjusting input levels only functions with Sources set to Analog in menu 6, and the bar graph only works with Analog-DSP setting.
