The factory default input name is NOT USED for each input except CD1 and CAS3
(for “cassette in input 3”, the most common recording device); these were config-
ured for the Quick Start portion of this manual. Any or all input names (includ-
ing these) may be changed easily to match the configuration of your particular
system.
naming an input “EQ” The EQ name also deserves special mention: if your loudspeaker requires a dedi-
cated equalizer for proper operation (or if you have any other reason for using
an EQ much of the time), you may connect the outputs of the equalizer to the
input named “EQ.” By “recording” the source you wish to listen to (selecting it on
the record path), and monitoring the EQ input (selecting EQ on the monitor
path), you will be able to run all signals through the equalizer prior to listening
to them. This is usually preferable to simply placing the EQ between the preamp
and the power amp, as most equalizers perform best at a (fixed) line level—
which is what they will receive in this hookup.
Since, in this scenario, you would spend most of your time in the record path
(selecting the source to be equalized) rather than the monitor path, we have en-
abled the volume control function in the record path when the input selected on
the monitor path is named EQ. Thus, you may adjust the volume of the selected
source without having to push the mode button twice to return to the monitor
path.
programming input names To change the name of any particular input, follow these steps:
1 IN THE MONITOR MODE, SELECT THE INPUT YOU WISH TO RENAME
2 PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON…
on the front panel until the display reads SET DATA, as below:
3 RELEASE THE MODE BUTTON; PRESS THE CHOSEN INPUT BUTTON RE-
PEATEDLY…
until the Name you desire appears in the display.
4 PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON AGAIN…
until the display reads NEW DATA, as shown below. (Note: see Step 5 below
if you have selected an name of a device capable of recording.) This indi-
cates that your new name for that input has been stored in nonvolatile
memory. As a result, this new setting will survive power outages and other
interruptions of AC power to the preamp.
