Name

Use the right-hand knob to select the desired name. Selecting “Unused” will disable that input and remove it from the list of available source components when in the normal operating mode.

A custom name (up to 8 characters) may also be created as follows:

1)Use the right-hand knob to scroll to the selection “Custom x”, where “x” represents the selected input number.

2)Press the right-hand button to enter the next menu level. The current name will be displayed, with the first character highlighted with a cursor (black characters on a blue background). The left hand knob selects the cursor position.

3)Use the right-hand knob to select the desired character. The character set includes A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, a hyphen, a decimal point, and a blank. There are three locations for the blank character, one between each group of characters. These additional blanks divide the groups of characters and make it easier to locate a blank character when desired.

4)After creating the desired custom name, press the left-hand button to back up to the previous level in the setup menu.

Offset

Source components may have varying output levels. In order to maintain a constant volume level when changing sources, the Ayre KX-R allows a gain offset to be applied to each input.

The gain offset offers an adjustment from +0 dB to +6 dB in 1 dB increments. Therefore the source components with lower output levels may be boosted to match the source components with higher output levels.
