Setting up sources

This section explains how to use Gain mode to set up

the analogue sources connected to the 818.

To turn on Gain mode

Put the 818 into standby by pressing Off (front panel

or remote).

Press and hold the Volume - key (under the front

panel) for at least five seconds.

The display shows:

Gain On

The 818 will then return to standby with Gain mode

turned on.

Gain mode adds an extra Sensitivity option to the

menus.

To turn off Gain mode

Repeat the above procedure.

The display shows:

Gain Off

To adjust the sensitivity of a source

To obtain the best signal-to-noise ratio for your

analogue sources you can adjust the sensitivity of each

input to give the highest level that does not produce

clipping.

Turn on Gain mode, as described above.

Select the source you want to adjust, with loud

source material playing.

Press < or > (remote or under the front panel) until

the display shows the current sensitivity.

For example:

Radio 2.0V In

Press A or V (remote or under the front panel) to

change the sensitivity.

•

You can select between sensitivities of 0.5V (most

sensitive), 1.0V, 2.0V, or 2.5V (least sensitive).

If the sensitivity is set too high the input will clip the

loudest passages. The display shows:

For example: Radio 0.5V In Clip

In this case reduce the sensitivity.

If you have selected a digital source you cannot adjust

the sensitivity. The display shows:

For example: CD Not Analogue
