Touching the Controls option opens a new menu, as shown below. The Controls page allows you to adjust a variety of processor functions, such as audio levels and delays, as well as selecting listening configurations.
These adjustments are temporary; when a new input is selected, the adjustments are deleted and replaced with the saved values.

Remember that these are only temporary trims, so use this system trim only for the occasional adjustment needed for a specific disc.

This is especially useful when you want to watch a movie in the evening, but are concerned about disturbing the neighbors or others in the household who might prefer to be sleeping during your action movie. This feature is specific to Dolby Digital soundtracks and is grayed out, or unavailable, when listening to other surround formats.
•reset trims - allows you to reset the system trims back to the values
reflected in the Setup menu for that input. NOTE: This is NOT a factory default command.
