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

clipping.
Turn on Gain mode, as described above.
Select the source you want to adjust, with loud
source material playing.
Press < or > (remote) until the display shows the
current sensitivity.
For example:
Radio 2.0V In

loudest passages. The display shows:

the sensitivity. The display shows:
