must be flashing. To make the parameter flash assuming the front panel is not locked press ENTER. Once the parameter is flashing, use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the parameter value. The parameter is instantly updated while it is being adjusted - you should hear changes as the parameter is changing. RS-232 control strings are also sent via the RS-232 port so your remote control device is instanta- neously updated as well. Press ENTER to select and store the parameter value or press ESC to cancel the selected value and return to the old value. Pressing HOME has the effect of pressing ESC then HOME, so the selected value will be cancelled and the menu will return to the top of the menu tree

room gain of this microphone channel is said to be 0 dB. If the reflected signal picked up by the microphone is higher than the level of the signal sent to the line output to your amplifier, that microphone channel has positive room gain. The more positive the room gain, the harder the AEC must work to determine which signal is an echo and which is a local speech signal
