I was going to edit the image, but **** it. You want it on the V~ at 200 and the other V at 20 for 1 and 2 respectively.

Little tutorial for your gain setting: link. This is the voltage calculator link: link.

EDIT: BTW, make sure your leads are in the V and COM slots.

Depends what your trying to measure.

Black in the Com, Red in the V for volts. Set dial to read ac, or dc volts.

For ohms set dial to the omaga sign.

Dc Is the black V ---... AC is ~

ok, my target voltage is 54.8

now i understand where to plug the probes into, still confused about where to set the dial.

V 200, AC voltage so you want the curvy sine wave

1) 200 on the red side

2) 20 on the black side

Bump for what? Ignoreme and others already answered.

You measure DC on the electrical and AC for sound.
