PRe2/P MENU FUNCTIONS
A) INPUTS CONFIGURATION Menu
This menu is used to customize the input
options.
It is used to set:
1) Input Function
2) Input Name
3) Initial Volume level
4) Soft Mute level
1) The first level of this menu is used to set
the INPUT FUNCTION. The options are
Stereo or Disabled.
Change these settings by scrolling left or
right to the desired input and pressing
ENTER to change the setting. Use the
UP/DOWN keys to scroll through the set-
ting options. Disable unused inputs.
Press ENTER to exit this menu mode.
2) The second level of this menu is used
for changing the Name of a given input.
To change an input name press ENTER
and you will see an under-bar indicator
for each of the 8 characters that can be
used for naming the input. Scroll the indi-
cator left or right using the LEFT/RIGHT
keys and use the UP/DOWN keys to
scroll through capital and lower case let-
ter, numbers 0-9 and a SPACE.
You can use the SPACE to separate words
and numbers or to center short names like
CD. Press Enter to exit this menu mode.
3) The third menu level is used to set the
Initial Volume level.
Press ENTER and use the UP/DOWN
keys to set the default level when coming
out of STANDBY. Press ENTER to exit this
menu mode
.
4) The fourth menu level is used to set the
Soft Mute Level.
This is preset to -40 units or -20 dB. This is
generally a good soft mute level.
If you wish to change this for a given
input then press ENTER and use the
UP/DOWN keys to scroll to a different
setting.
Press Enter to exit this menu mode.
B) OFFSETS CONFIGURATION
Menu
This menu is used to set the 0dB gain
setting for the Pre2/P.
This is important for optimizing the gain
control range for systems with different
amplifier gain, input levels and loud-
speaker efficiencies.
For example: if you find that the volume
level is too loud even if the indicated vol-
ume is at or near 0 then you need to
increase the 0dB gain setting from the
default of 100 to 110, 120 or higher.
This will allow you to set the volume
level lower before reaching the 0 limit
on the display.
To change this setting, press ENTER and
use the UP/DOWN controls to set the
desired number.
Press ENTER to exit this menu mode.
