Audio Operations
Adjusting the Volume Level of Input Audio
You can adjust the input sensitivity, sound position, and volume balance of audio input to the VR-4HD.
Adjusting Input Gain

* Head amp gain can be adjusted only for channels 1 through 4.
* Manipulate the knob or fader for the corresponding input connector.
Head Amp Gain (Channels 1–4)
You adjust the head amp gain so that incoming audio signals on
channels 1 through 4 are at appropriate levels.
1. Turn the [GAIN] knob all the way counterclockwise to turn
down the input sensitivity.
2. Move the channel fader to near the “Bold line” (0 dB—see
the gure below).

3. Raise the [MAIN] fader to an appropriate position.
4. Slowly turn the [GAIN] knob clockwise to adjust the input
gain.
Use the [GAIN] knob to gradually raise the input gain as you play
the actual incoming signal. Boost the input gain as high as possible
without making the SIG/PEAK indicator light up in red.
A level at which the level meter lights up in yellow is appropriate.
Digital Gain
Adjust the digital gain so that audio signals input via channels 1
through 7/8, HDMI 1 though 4, and USB are at appropriate levels.
* For channels 1 through 4, rst adjust the head amp gain, and then
adjust the digital gain as needed.

audio whose input gain you want to adjust to the position
shown below.
