Input Setup

2-4. Character Input sub-menu

This sub-menu allows you to give names to the stations you have preset for the AM/FM tuner, and to the input sources you have connected (excluding the tuner itself). Up to 10 characters can be entered for each name. For example, if you have a DVD connected to the VIDEO4 input jack, then you can give it the name “DVD2.” Or, if you have multiple VCRs connected, you can enter the model names or manufacturer names for each one so that you do not have to remember which is connected to which input source.

If you want to enter a name for a preset broadcast radio station, select the station that you want to name and enter the name.

a. Intelli Volume

When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the TX-DS898 is different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then have to change the volume setting each time you change the input source. This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a volume level for each input source separately so that when you do switch from one input source to another, the TX-DS898 adjusts the volume accordingly so that the resulting volume stays the same. To set the Intelli Volume, simply select an input source at the front panel, and if that source is quieter than other sources, increase its decibel level with the cursor button, or if it is louder than other sources, decrease its decibel level with the cursor button.

The Intelli Volume can be adjusted between –12 and +12 decibels.
