Source Configuration

Signature 2.0
With the source unit in play, make certain that you are
at the
Source Menu
(Figure OSD-5) and that the
Input Level >
line is highlighted. Press the
Menu Control
button
i
to move to the
Set
Input Levels
menu (Figure OSD-7).
Figure OSD-7
This menu has two groups of lines for the left and right
inputs. The top group is where adjustments are made to
each of the channels, and the figure shown at the right
side of the screen is the offset from the 2.0’s internal
reference. The group of readouts in the lower portion of
the screen displays an actual indication of the incoming
audio signal’s level.
When the lower display lines display a constant reading
of
Ref
, the level settings are correct and no further
adjustment is required. When either of the lower lines
flashes between
Ref
and
Low
or
Ref
and
High
the
input levels require adjustment. A level that is too high
will cause distortion and incorrect processing, while too
low a level will prevent the surround processor from
creating the proper soundfields.
To adjust the input levels, make certain that the
Set
Input Levels
menu (Figure OSD-7) is on the
screen. To select the channel being adjusted, use the
or
¤ Menu Control
buttons
i
until the desired
channel is highlighted. Use the
or
Menu Control
buttons
i
until the
Signal Level
line for
the channel being adjusted shows a constant
Ref
display. When one channel has been adjusted, repeat
the procedure for the other, if necessary.
