Marantz sr 9200 peak indicator flashing


When I connect anaolog input signal to Marantz SR 9200 home theater receiver,the peak indictor light keep flashing even the volume is low.Is this normal or the receiver is overload? Digital signal is fine.

Thanks Sean,they do have a adjustment to lower the input level.but will it lower the performance.I was just using CD player analog out to receiver.I thought it is a simple connection.
If those lights are coming on all the time, you're experiencing distortion of the Analogue to Digital Converter ( ADC ). By reducing the input level, you should be able to obtain cleaner sound at the expense of having to crank the volume of the receiver up a bit higher. If the receiver is playing loud enough for you now without sounding distorted, it should have plenty of gain to compensate for the reduced drive after lowering the input signal. You may have to play with the settings a bit to find the best spot. I went through something similar several years ago, hence my familiarity with the situation. Sean
