Setting up sources
This section explains how to use Gain mode to set up the analogue sources
connected to the CD player.
To turn on Gain mode
• Put the CD player into standby by pressing Off (front panel or remote).
• Press and hold the Volume V key under the front panel for at least fi ve
seconds.
The display shows:
Gain On
The CD player will then return to standby with Gain mode turned on.
Gain mode adds an extra Sensitivity option to the menus.
To turn off Gain mode
• Repeat the above procedure until
the display shows:
Gain Off
To adjust the sensitivity of a source
To obtain the best signal-to-noise ratio for your analogue sources you can
adjust the sensitivity of each input to give the highest level that does not
produce clipping.
• Turn on Gain mode, as described above.
• Select the source you want to adjust, with loud source material playing.
• Press
< or > (remote) until the display shows the current sensitivity.
For example:
Radio 2.0V In
• Press A or V (remote) to change the sensitivity.
You can select between sensitivities of 0.5V (most sensitive), 1.0V, 2.0V, or
2.5V (least sensitive).
If the sensitivity is set too high the input will clip the loudest passages.
The display shows, for example:
Radio 0.5V In Clip
In this case reduce the sensitivity.
