Behringer DEQ 2496 help


Does anybody know where in the menu I'd find an input gain/attenuation control? I've run optical out of my DVD player into the DEQ then analog out to my Harmon Kardon AVR7200 which I am using as a pre. I am trying to utilize the DACs in the DEQ, the way it is hooked up now I am getting a fairly high signal with the clip lights flashing on the DEQ once in a while. It does sound much better and I don't hear anything out of the ordinary when the signal clips. Is it OK to run like this or am I missing something? Any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance!

I may have to give you my CC details for the ongoing tech support.

I had tweaked an EQ curve from the RTA which sounded really good, but unfortunately lost it when I couldnt quite figure out the memory function.

In the meantime, I think I also screwed up some other settings.

So back to the drawing board -- is there a quick procedure for a full factory reset?

Thank you.
Cwlondon...There is usually a way to restore factory settings, but I can't find one for the DEQ2496.
There is a way to reset to factory settings, I've used it before. But I'm at work right now & can't remember it. I think I found it by emailing Behringer support.
I may finally get a new DAC for my desktop system, either a Bel Canto, Lavry or Benchmark.

If I go from the DAC into the balanced inputs (instead of the optical I have been using) will this therefore bypass the internal DAC of the Behringer?

Thank you
Cwlondon...NO!!! If you use a DAC to feed an analog signal into the DEQ2496, it will immediately do an analog to digital conversion. If you want to avoid the A/D and D/A converters of the DEQ2496 (completely unnecessary IMHO) you should feed digital into the DEQ2496, and take digital out of it and then run it through your outboard DAC.
