Audio In Format–MAIN Selections apply to the MAIN Path only.
If you have selected
Digital
for a given
source and connected the digital output from your source component, you can still use the
Analog
Inputs
for that same source – these will then be available for other Paths (ZONE2, REC). This
arrangement allows greater operating flexibility.
For example, say you had both DISC1 and DISC2 set to DIGITAL, the digital output of a CD Player
CONNECTED to DISC2, the analog output of the same CD Player also to DISC2, and the digital output of
a DVD Player to DISC1. You can then use either the Analog or Digital output of the CD player as follows:
Select MAIN (Zone / Path) and DISC2 (Source) and play a CD. Copy the MAIN Source to ZONE2 (section
5.5.1) and you will also hear the AVM 2’s high-end CD sound in ZONE2. Now you want to watch a DVD
and therefore switch MAIN to DISC1. Because MAIN is copied to ZONE2, the DVD’s sound will also be
directed to ZONE2, but you still want to hear the CD in ZONE2. The solution? Press ZONE2 (Zone / Path)
and DISC2 and the CD sound returns to ZONE2... How? Through the analog inputs connected from the
CD Player to DISC2.
Audio In Format–MAIN Also Allows For Two Other Adjustments:
•
If Digital is selected:
Assign the
Type
of digital connection (RCA, TOS1, TOS2, or XLR).
•
If Analog is selected:
Adjust
Levels
. This allows the matching of source levels to each other, so that
there are no large changes in volume as you change sources.
If a source is playing while you are making the Analog Level adjustment, you will notice a Vertical
Bar Graph to the left of the –dB setting. In the On-Screen display, if this Bar Graph changes from
Green to Pink you have gone into an overload condition. Adjust the level down until the display turns
back to Green. It is good practice to set this even lower (especially if using sine wave test signals)
by as much as –9dB, to provide greater headroom and lower any potential for clipping distortion.
You can set the level within the range of –95.5 dB and +31.5 dB.
Note:
DIRECT and FM/AM are analog only – digital inputs are not available for these sources.
Before making changes or adjustments in this menu, have all connected source components playing
similar music material. Then, as you switch through each highlighted source, you will hear that
component play. This lets you know that each component is correctly connected to the AVM 2, and it
also allows for easy comparative level adjustments of analog sources.
