Configuration
The input level meters are displayed when
you select the GAIN parameter for an
active input which has been selected in
the Setup menu.
When GAIN is selected, two on-screen horizontal bar meters display peak
incoming signal level. The highest peak level is shown in dB in a separate
text line, and as an arrow in the the meter display. White, yellow and red
sections of the bar meter show increasing levels. The white portion is shown
in 3dB increments, the yellow and red portions are shown in 1.5dB incre-
ments. An enlarged block at -21dB indicates the reference level used with a
Dolby calibration tone source.
The peak level display can be refreshed by pressing DONE to exit, then
pressing SELECT to return to the display.

Input Name

Each input has an associated name which is displayed during normal
operation whenever the input is selected. The default names correspond to
the labels on the DC-2 remote control and the front and rear panels. These
names can be customized to more accurately reflect your system configura-
tion.
To assign a new name (up to 8 characters) for an input, select NAME from
the Input Configuration menu, and EDIT INPUT NAME from the sub-
menu. The display will show the current name with a cursor marking the
character position to be modified. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to select a new
character for that position, and SELECT to move the cursor to another
position. Press DONE twice to return to the Input Configuration menu.
This control allows you to restore the factory name for the currently selected
input. Pressing SELECT displays the message PRESS SELECT TO RE-
STORE INPUT NAME. Pressing SELECT again restores the name and exits
to the Input Configuration menu.
The DC-2 has the ability to automatically load an effect whenever an input
is chosen. For example, if you primarily listen to CD’s with the CONCERT
HALL effect, the DC-2 can be set to load this effect when the CD input is
chosen. (You can listen to any similar type of effect using the EFFECT button
on the front panel or FX button on the remote control.) If you select USE
LAST, the DC-2 will load the last effect used for the selected input. Any
effect can be assigned to any or all of the eight inputs. Input Effect
