4 PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON ON THE FRONT PANEL
After a few seconds the display will change to show
SET DATA , as below.
Release the mode button.
5 RAISE THE VOLUME TO MATCH YOUR REFERENCE
Using the volume knob, raise the volume of your “quieter” source until it
subjectively matches the volume level of your “loudest” source. The display
will show the name of the input you are adjusting and the degree of addi-
tional output you are assigning to it, measured in decibels (0.0 to 20.0 dB in
tenths of a decibel).
Note that “CD 1” in the example given above represents the currently cho-
sen input, and “2.8” indicates the current offset for that input.
6 PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON AGAIN…
until the display reads
NEW DATA , as below.
This indicates that your new input offset has been stored in nonvolatile
memory. As a result, this new setting will survive power outages and other
interruptions in AC power to the preamp. You may wish to repeat this pro-
cess in order to refine your settings.
programming an automatic
output (volume) level
The Nº380 also features the ability to remember a “preferred” output level setting,
to which it will return whenever you select a particular input. This capability is a
great convenience when used with tuners, for example, since their output level is
often more consistent than other sources, and since tuners may be used primarily
for background (rather than critical) listening. This adjustment may be made for
each input independently of any other input.
