[. . . ] RS-232 control strings are also sent via the RS-232 port so your remote control device is instantaneously updated as well. Press ENTER to select and store the parameter value or press ESC to cancel the selected value and return to the old value. Pressing HOME has the effect of pressing ESC then HOME, so the selected value will be cancelled and the menu will return to the top of the menu tree. Parameters that toggle or select among a list of options will wrap around when you reach the end, but parameters that adjust numeric values will not wrap around once the maximum or minimum value is reached. While adjusting a parameter, the UP/ DOWN button must be held down briefly before the repeat rate increases.

LCD MENU STRUCTURE
INPUTS
The input menu allows the user to adjust functions related to the input signals to the EF2280. This menu contains ACOUSTIC ECHO CANCELLATION, AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL, AGC MAXIMUM, AGC MINIMUM, GAIN ADJUST, LEVEL MIC/LINE, MUTE, NOISE CANCELLATION, NOISE CANCELLATION LEVEL, PHANTOM POWER, REFERENCE ASSIGN, and AEC SUPPRESSION. The menu is organized around the Inputs (1-8) and (A-D), so that you first select an input and then select settings for that input. You can also choose to apply the settings to all Inputs, Inputs 1-8, or Inputs AD.
Inputs 1-8, A-D
Acoustic Echo Cancellation (In 1-8) Automatic Gain Control (AGC), In 1-8 AGC Maximum (In 1-8) AGC Minimum (In 1-8) Gain Level Min/Line (In 1-8) Mute Noise Cancellation (In 1-8) Noise Cancellation Level (In 1-8) Phantom Power (In 1-8) Reference Assign (In 1-8) AEC Suppression (In 1-8)
Acoustic Echo Cancellation. This allows you to enable or disable the acoustic
echo canceller on a particular channel. The default setting is 15 dB for microphone signals and 0 dBu for line level signals. See "Level" above for setting mic/line level for Inputs 1-8. The LEVEL INDICATOR on the front panel automatically reflects the level of the channel whose gain is being adjusted. Figure 21 below shows the gain adjust on Inputs 1-8 and A-D and the matrix crosspoints.
Input Channel (1 of 8)
