SETUP INPUTS DVD1 ANGL IN LVL

Opens the ANLG IN LVL menu, to adjust the 2-channel (and

5.1-channel when the MAIN ADVANCED ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF) analog audio input levels for the selected input. Analog audio sources have a wide range of levels. To compensate, the MC-12 allows independent input level adjustment of each stereo analog audio input connector. The input level of the 5.1-channel analog audio input connector is only adjustable when the ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF.

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 ANGL IN LVL AUTO

Provides automatic adjustment of 2-channel (and 5.1-channel when the MAIN ADVANCED ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF) analog audio input levels. When set to ON, the input levels are automatically monitored and optimized. When the input signal is too high, the input levels are quickly decreased to avoid overload. When the input signal is too low, the input levels are slowly increased to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.

When set to OFF, the 2-channel and 5.1 analog audio input levels are not automatically monitored and optimized. Instead, input levels must be adjusted with the ANLG IN LVL MANUAL parameter.
