ASSIGNING AUDIO & VIDEO INPUT CONNECTORS

(continued)

MANUAL

-18 to +12 dB

Provides manual adjustment of 2-channel (and 5.1-channel when
the MAIN ADVANCED

ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF)

analog audio input levels. Lower levels cause more noise, while
higher levels pose a risk of overload distortion. When manual
adjustments are made, the MC-12 automatically sets the ANLG IN
LVL menu AUTO parameter to OFF, deactivating automatic input
level adjustment. Manual input level adjustments are retained when
the AUTO parameter is ON.

Note:

When the AUTO parameter is ON, the MC-12 will not make adjustments
that exceed the ANLG IN LVL menu MANUAL parameter setting.

AUTO GAIN

Indicates the current amount of input level adjustment for the
selected 2-channel (and 5.1-channel when the MAIN ADVANCED
ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF) analog audio input
connector. This parameter cannot be directly adjusted. When the
ANLG IN LVL menu AUTO parameter is ON, the AUTO GAIN
parameter indicates the amount of automatic input level
adjustment.

When the AUTO parameter is OFF, the AUTO GAIN parameter
indicates the amount of input level adjustment as set by the
MANUAL parameter.

When the AUTO parameter is ON, the AUTO GAIN parameter
continues to indicate the amount of manual input level adjustment
until automatic adjustments have been made.

LEVEL METERS

Indicate fluctuating input levels in the front left (L) and front right (R)
channels for the selected input. Meters are also present for center
(C), side left (SL), side right (SR), and sub (LFE) when the input is set
up for 5.1-analog. Like the STATUS menu level meters, ANLG IN LVL
menu level meters indicate input levels for both analog and digital
audio sources. However, ANLG IN LVL menu input level adjustments
only affect 2-channel (or 5.1-channel sources when the MAIN
ADVANCED

ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF) analog

audio sources.

Level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow and red when
the on-screen display is configured for a blue-screen background.
Green indicates low levels; yellow indicates normal levels; and red
indicates the onset of overload. Occasional flashes from yellow into
red are normal peak indicators. Level meters appear in white when
the on-screen display is not configured for a blue-screen
background.
