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!

Cwlondon...According to Rives Audio, who qualifies as something of an expert on room treatments, you can't do much that way below 350 Hz or so. This is why they developed their PARC equalizer.

Of course it may also be that you have set up a frequency response curve that you prefer over flat. This could be related to your speakers/room, your ears, or just a personal preference.

Where is the "max" switch?

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.
