3.6 ADJUST INPUT LEVELS
For Sources set to Anlg-DSP or Anlg-Dir in menu 5, you can match input levels in MAIN to each other so
there are no large changes in volume as you change Sources. This is also where recording level is set when
using the AVM 50 as an analog-to-digital converter (see sections 3.5, 3.7, and 4.3).
If a source that is set to Analog-DSP is playing while you adjust the Input Level, you will notice a vertical bar
graph to the left of the dB setting. With the On-Screen display, this Bar Graph changes from green to pink,
to warn that there is 6 dB of headroom left. With pop music material, an occasional transition into the pink
region does not necessarily mean that the input is overloaded. If the bar graph stays pink constantly, reduce
the level until the bar graph becomes green for the most part.
Before making changes or adjustments in this menu, have all connected source components playing
similar music material. Then, as you switch through each highlighted Source, you will hear that
component play. This lets you know that each component is connected to the AVM 50, and it also allows
for easy comparative level adjustments of analog sources. Remember, adjusting input levels only
functions with Sources set to Analog in menu 5, and the bar graph only works with Analog-DSP setting.
Example: Adjust TAPE Input Level.
Make sure a source component is connected to TAPE Analog L/R Input and playing.
