setting record out The Nº383 gives you the ability to associate any one of the five inputs
with the
record output. This allows you to organize your sources in
whatever order you deem most convenient, while using the record out-
put with whatever might need them.
Thus, if you want to set up a source component as recording device,
navigate to the source in question within the setup menu, press
enter,
and then turn the
select knob until the display reads Rec.Out=Off.
Then turn the
volume knob to change the setting from Off to On.
Press enter to save the change. Now the currently-selected source will
be fed to your chosen recordable device for possible recording, except
of course when you are listening to the recordable device itself. (We do
not want to set up feedback loops.)
(For more detailed information on how to navigate to this item, see the
point-by-point description under “changing input names.”)
Note that the record outputs are muted when the Nº383 is in standby.
teach ir Next in the top level of the menu system is the rather extensive “teach
IR” section, which has its own major section in this manual immedi-
ately following this one. Please see that section for additional details.
For now, it is enough to know that the Nº383 can teach any of its infra-
red commands to a learning remote control by broadcasting the appro-
priate code from its display window. Even if you were to lose the Nº383
remote, you could teach everything you need to another remote control
(or order a replacement remote from us, of course).
setting a mute level The Nº383 Integrated Amplifier also allows you to customize the mag-
nitude of the change in volume caused by pressing the mute button.
The factory default setting is -20.0 dB, but you may select a value of
anything from -10.0 to -70.0 dB, in 0.1 dB increments. For example,
you may prefer to reduce the volume by 35 dB when mute is pressed,
so as to take a symphony orchestra playing at a realistic level down to a
level that allows comfortable conversation when someone enters the
room.
To change the mute level, press setup to enter the setup menu, turn the
select knob until Mute = -20.0 shows in the display, and then use the
volume knob to alter the mute level setting as you see fit. When fin-
ished, press enter to save your change. Pressing setup one last time
will return you to normal operation (leaving the setup menu).
