1 Press and hold the digital record select button on the front
panel
After a few seconds, the display will change to show NAME= and the
current name of the selected input. When you let go, it will still show
NAME= and the current name of the input. (Ignore this for now. You’ll
learn how to rename your inputs to match your sources later on in this
manual.)
2 press the polarity button so the display shows “HDCD
MANual”
Repeatedly pressing the polarity button will toggle the display be-
tween “
HDCD AUTO” (meaning that the Nº360S automatically lowers
its volume on conventionally-mastered discs) and “
HDCD MANUAL”
(meaning that gain-matching is turned off; HDCD-encoded discs will
still be decoded properly). If you try to change from one to the other
while a Nº380 is Linked, the Nº30.6 will display “No38 ACTIVE!”
(indicating that the equipment already knows what to do).
Using manual gain-matching ensures that the HDCD digital filter al-
ways operates at its maximum resolution, although you may now have
to manually turn up the volume on some HDCD recordings, beyond
your usual settings.
