Configuring the multimedia controller without a computer

32

The 562V Multimedia Controller allows you to program the level

of each analogue source independently, to suit your other

equipment, so that when you switch between sources the

volume stays the same.

You can increase the sensitivity of any source by up to four

steps. The loudest source, usually CD, should therefore be

chosen as the reference.

The following table shows the correspondence between the gain

and sensitivity on the audio inputs:

Gain

0dB

2dB

8dB

14dB

Sensitivity

2.5V

2.0V

1.0V

0.5V

To balance input levels

Switch off any power amplifiers that are connected to the

multimedia controller.

Turn off the multimedia controller, using the power switch on

the back panel.

Turn on the power again while holding down the Mute key on

the front panel.

Programming levels

The display will show:

Gain

Release the Mute key.

The multimedia controller will switch to standby.

Select the source that sounds loudest and make it your

reference.

Switch to another source in the usual way.

Use the

A and V keys to change the sensitivity.

For example, the display will show:

0.5V

The front-panel indicator (above the Copy key) will flash if

clipping occurs, in which case reduce the sensitivity.

Switch between the source you are changing and the

reference source until they sound equally loud.

Repeat the procedure for your other sources.

When you have finished programming levels, switch the

power off and on again to restore normal operation.
