Method Two

1. With the VM-3100 and the digital device powered down, connect the

device’s digital output to either of the VM-3100’s digital inputs.

2. Power on the digital device you’re connecting to the VM-3100.

3. Set the device to output a digital signal of 44.1kHz.

4. While holding down SHIFT, press DIGITAL IN (CLK SELECT).

5. Turn the VALUE dial to select either “DIN-A” for the coaxial input or

“DIN-B” for the optical input.

The display flashes “Digital IN Checking” for a few seconds. When the

VM-3100 is successfully locked to the digital input, the display shows

“Digital IN Locked!” and returns you to the main level screen.

The stereo digital input you’ve selected will be controlled by Channel

11-12. To set up a digital input signal on Channel 11-12:

1. Bring the Master fader all the way down.

2. Bring the fader for Channel 11-12 all the way down.

3. Press the F1-F4 ON/OFF button.

4. Press F1 until “→Pre” appears in the display, if necessary. Press F1

once more to select the pre-fader setting.

5. Press F1-F4 ON/OFF to return to the main level screen.

6. Play the digital device and adjust the device’s output volume—if

possible—until the VM-3100’s display shows a level between -12dB

and -4dB.

7. Press the F1-F4 ON/OFF button.

8. “→Pst” appears above F1 in the display. Press F1 to select the post-

fader setting.

9. Press F1-F4 ON/OFF to return to the main level screen.

10. Raise the Channel 11-12 fader until the VM-3100’s display shows a

level between -12dB and -4dB.

11. Raise the Master fader to hear the output of Channel 11-12.

If there’s no way to lower the output level of your digital device, don’t

worry: the VM-3100 allows you to reduce—or “attenuate”—the level of

an incoming digital signal. This can also be helpful if a digital device’s

signal is distorted or clipping even though the VM-3100 shows it as

being in the desired -12dB through -4dB level range. To attenuate a

digital signal, follow these steps:

1. While holding down SHIFT, press the SELECT button for Channel

11-12.

2. Press the DOWN page button to select “ATT.”

3. Turn the VALUE dial to adjust the volume of the signal from 0dB

down to -18dB until you obtain an acceptable signal level.

4. Press LEVEL METER (BIG T.C.) to exit.

instead of using the VALUE dial.
