you must choose the input that
you wish to adjust. This is done
with the up/down function.
After you have selected your
input you can increase the level
in 1 dB steps from 0 dB to +
8dB.
Default is 0dB on all inputs.

of the Phono stage 2 module.
If Phono Stage 2 is used, RCA
input 5 is dedicated input and
no set-up in the menu is
required.

lowing settings.

Assigning Input 3 as
a Dedicated AV
Connection

You can use the Athena with a
stereoamplifier in a normal
stereo set-up but using a sepa-
rate surround processor, you
can connect the left and right
front channels from your sur-
round processor to Input 3 of the
Athena and using the Menu to
configure this input so that the
signal bypasses all preamplifier
stages in the Athena. This allows
you to enjoy the full performance
of the Athena for stereo and sur-
round listening without placing
any surround components in the
stereo signal path.

CAUTION: When Input 3 is set
up as a dedicated AV connec-
tion, the Athenas volume control
is automatically set at a fixed
level. The signal from the sur-
round processor goes direct to
the power amplifier and MUST
be calibrated and attenuated by
the surround processor.

When DEDICATE INP.3 TO AV
appears in the display, press
Menu to select the next menu-
controlled function, if you do
NOT wish to connect the left and
right front channels from a sur-
round processor to Input 3 of the
Athena. If you do wish to make a
dedicated AV connection, press
