OPERATION MANUAL 088 PREAMP
Balance
Some spatial arrangements require a shift of the volume ratio between the two
reproducing channels. The volume shift is realized by reducing one of the two
stereo channels. It is possible to alleviate one channel of the preamp 088 up to 9 dB
(factor 2.8) in steps of 1 dB, and for specific situations to switch it off completely.
Select menu item BAL with the left rotary switch or the navigation buttons ► ◄ on
your remote control.
With the right rotary switch of the navigation buttons ▲ ▼ on your remote control
you may select the desired value:
<C> both stereo channels of the MAIN output will be reproduced at
the same volume level
-09R to -01R the right channel of the MAIN output will be reproduced with
reduced volume
OFF R the right channel of the MAIN output is muted
-09L to -01L the left channel of the MAIN output will be reproduced with
reduced volume
OFF L the left channel of the MAIN output is muted
The balance setting has no effect on the SURROUND input and on the TAPE output.
