SETUP INPUTS DVD1 ANGL IN LVL MANUAL

Provides manual adjustment of 2-channel (and 5.1-channel when the MAIN ADVANCED ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF) analog audio input levels. Lower levels cause more noise, while higher levels pose a risk of overload distortion. When manual adjustments are made, the MC-12 automatically sets the ANLG IN LVL menu AUTO parameter to OFF, deactivating automatic input level adjustment. Manual input level adjustments are retained when the AUTO parameter is ON.

Note:

When the AUTO parameter is ON, the MC-12 will not make adjustments that exceed the ANLG IN LVL menu MANUAL parameter setting.

When the AUTO parameter is OFF, the AUTO GAIN parameter indicates the amount of input level adjustment as set by the MANUAL parameter.
