Trim Level Adjustment

Various source components can have slightly different vol- ume levels. This could result in the constant need to readjust the C500 Volume Control when switching between different Input Sources. The Level Input Trim Feature on the C500 Controller allows the adjustment of levels for each of the Source Inputs, so that they have the same relative volume. The Tuner and CD Inputs are used in the following ex- ample.

Notes: The possible range of adjustment in volume level is ±6dB. The Tape/Record Output Levels are unaffected by any changes in the Level Trim Settings. Any LEVEL Trim adjustments made are retained in permanent memory and can be changed only by performing a new Level Trim Procedure. The Tuner Input Volume Level can serve as a reference or choose another Input

Source that is frequently listened to as the reference. The reference Input Source should be set to a Level of 00.

1.Rotate the SELECT 2 Control to select the Tuner Input and adjust the VOLUME Control to the desired listen- ing level. Refer to figure 32 .
