Trim Level Adjustment

Source Components can have slightly different volume lev- els resulting in the need to readjust the MA6600 Volume Control when switching between different sources. The MA6600 allows the adjustment of levels for each of the Source Inputs for the same relative volume. The CD1 and SERVER Inputs are used in the following example.

Note: The range of adjustment is ± 6dB. The REC Output Levels are unaffected by any changes in the Level Trim Settings. The Trim adjustments made are retained in permanent memory. They can be changed by perform- ing a new Trim Procedure. The CD1 Input Volume Level can serve as a reference or choose another source frequently listened to. The reference Input Source should be set to a Trim Level of 00.

1.Rotate the INPUT Control to select the CD1 Input and adjust the VOLUME Control to the desired listening level.
