Select this character (if the character list option was selected in step 3). The blinking cursor will advance to the next character space. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all desired characters have been entered. When the seventh character is selected, the SAVING DATA message will appear on the front panel display to indicate that the new input name is being saved.

Note

The factory-default input name must be restored one character at a time using the character list (unless factory- default settings are restored).

Optimizes gain levels for the input using the stereo input connector for which the selected input is assigned. Increasing the Gain parameter setting increases gain levels for the selected input, which sometimes prevents input sources with low gain levels from producing low signal-to-noise ratios. Decreasing the Gain parameter setting decreases gain levels for the selected input, which sometimes prevents input sources with high gain levels from producing distortion.

3-7

Note

The Gain parameter should be set before the Offset parameter.

Determines individual input volume level offsets in 0.1dB increments between –20.0 and +20.0dB. The factory-default input volume level offset is 0.0dB. Whenever an input is selected, the Nº 320S automatically applies the Offset parameter setting to master volume level.

In some cases, this causes some input sources to sound softer or louder than others. If this occurs, select the Offset parameter setting that compensates for the volume level difference, allowing all associated components to output at a comparable volume level.
