ASSIGNING AUDIO and VIDEO INPUT CONNECTORS (continued)
AUTO ON, OFF
Provides automatic adjustment of 2-channel analog audio input
levels. When set to ON, the MC-8 automatically monitors and
optimizes input levels. When the input signal is too high, the MC-8
quickly decreases input levels to avoid overload. When the input
signal is too low, the MC-8 slowly increases input levels to maximize
signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.
When OFF is selected, the MC-8 does not automatically monitor and
optimize 2-channel analog audio input levels. Rather, input levels
must be adjusted with the MANUAL parameter (see below).
MANUAL –18dB to +12dB
Provides manual adjustment of 2-channel analog audio input levels.
When manual adjustments are made, the MC-8 automatically sets
the ANLG IN LVL menu AUTO parameter to OFF, deactivating
automatic input level adjustment. Manual input level adjustments are
retained when the AUTO parameter is ON.
Note:
When the AUTO parameter is ON, the MC-8 will not make adjustments
that exceed the ANLG IN LVL menu MANUAL parameter setting.
AUTO GAIN
Indicates the current amount of input level adjustment for the
selected stereo analog audio input connector. When the ANLG IN
LVL menu AUTO parameter is ON, the AUTO GAIN parameter
indicates the amount of automatic input level adjustment. When the
AUTO parameter is OFF, the AUTO GAIN parameter indicates the
amount of manual input level adjustment. (In other words, the AUTO
GAIN parameter reflects the setting of the ANLG IN LVL menu
MANUAL parameter.)
When the AUTO parameter is ON, the AUTO GAIN parameter
continues to indicate the amount of manual input level adjustment
until automatic adjustments have been made.
LEVEL METERS
Indicate fluctuating input levels in the front left (L) and front right (R)
channels for the selected input. Like the STATUS menu level meters,
ANLG IN LVL menu level meters indicate input levels for both analog
and digital audio sources. However, ANLG IN LVL menu input level
adjustments affect only 2-channel analog audio sources.
Level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow and red when
the on-screen display is configured for a blue-screen background.
Green indicates low levels; yellow indicates normal levels; and red
indicates the onset of overload. Level meters appear in white when
the on-screen display is not configured for a blue-screen background.
