Setting up sources

This section explains how to use Gain mode to set up the analogue sources connected to the CD player.

To turn on Gain mode

•Put the CD player into standby by pressing Off (front panel or remote).

•Press and hold the Volume V key under the front panel for at least ﬁve seconds.

The display shows:	Gain On

The CD player will then return to standby with Gain mode turned on.

Gain mode adds an extra Sensitivity option to the menus.

To turn off Gain mode

• Repeat the above procedure until	Gain Off
the display shows:

To adjust the sensitivity of a source

To obtain the best signal-to-noise ratio for your analogue sources you can adjust the sensitivity of each input to give the highest level that does not produce clipping.

•Turn on Gain mode, as described above.

•Select the source you want to adjust, with loud source material playing.

•Press < or > (remote) until the display shows the current sensitivity.

For example:	Radio 2.0V In

• Press A or V (remote) to change the sensitivity.

You can select between sensitivities of 0.5V (most sensitive), 1.0V, 2.0V, or 2.5V (least sensitive).

If the sensitivity is set too high the input will clip the loudest passages.

The display shows, for example:	Radio 0.5V In Clip

In this case reduce the sensitivity.
