To exit the setup menu at any time, press the
power button on the front panel and all changes
will be saved and the PCA-2 will go into standby.

The settings in the Setup Menu are non-volatile.
Even if the PCA-2 is disconnected from its power
source, all Setup Menu entries will be stored.

Software Version

This mode will display the current version of the
PCA-2 operation software. Press the Loop key
to display the version number. This mode cannot
be edited.

Input [#] Name

The Input name
parameter allows
for the user to
assign a custom
name for each
input. This name
will be displayed
when it is selected
as the active input
There are 5 edit-
able characters for
each input.

While in the Setup Menu pressing the loop but-
ton while the desired input is selected will allow
modification of its name. The cursor will blink
under the 1st character. This indicates the char-
acter that is active for editing. Use the volume
control to scroll through the alphanumeric char-
acter list (for the complete list of alphanumeric
characters see Appendix B). Once the desired
character is chosen press the Mute button to
move one character to the right or the Loop but-
ton to move one character to the left. Pressing
either Input button again will exit the Input [#]
Name editing mode and save the changes to the
input name.

For a complete list of default name settings see
Appendix A.

Input [#] Gain

Each input also allows for a user adjustable
volume gain. This can be useful for eliminating
volume discrepancies between different sources,

thus eliminating the need to adjust the volume
when selecting different sources.

Press the loop button to enter the gain setting for
the desired input. Use the volume knob to make
an adjustment from -10 to +10 decibels in .5
decibel increments.

The default setting is +0.0 decibels.

HT Bypass Input

Before using the Home Theater Bypass mode an
input must be designated to be the HT Bypass
input.

Press the loop
button to enter
the input selec-
tion screen. Use
the volume knob
to select the
input desired
to function as a
Home Theater
Bypass.

The default set-
ting is 0. When

set to 0 no input is designated as a HT Bypass
input and all inputs will function as normal inputs.

Mute Level

The Mute Level function allows for a different
volume level to be specified when mute is acti-
vated.

Press the loop button to enter the Mute Level
selection screen. Use the volume knob to adjust
the desired volume level for the system to be set
at while in mute mode. The readout will display
either a 0 to 100 scale or -90 to +10 dB scale,
depending on what scale is chosen in Volume
Display Mode.

The default setting is 0. When set to 0 no audio
will be heard while in mute.

Volume Display Mode

Volume can be displayed in either a standard
scale from 0 to 100 or a decibel reference scale
