Balance
Listening balance varies with different program
sources, room acoustics and listening positions
relative to the loudspeakers. Use the Balance (Trim
Function) as needed to achieve approximately
equal listening volume levels in each loudspeaker.
The Front Panel Display indicates the Balance
changes are from 0 to 50 dB. After approximately
4 seconds the Information Display returns to
indicate the Source Selection and Volume Level. To
verify the Balance setting without changing it, use
the TRIM Button and select Balance.
Input Trim Level
Source Components can have slightly different
volume levels resulting in the need to readjust the
C2800 VOLUME Knob when switching between
different sources. The C2800 allows the adjustment
of levels for each of the Source Inputs for the same
relative volume.
Mono/Stereo Mode
By default, the Stereo Mode is active for all
Input Sources however, any Input Source may
be assigned to the Mono Mode of operation. To
change Stereo Mode to Mono for a given Input
Source, perform the same type of steps by using
the Front Panel Controls or the Remote Control
Pushbuttons as done for TONE CONTROL
Settings:
Note: The audio signal present at the SEND FIXED OUT Jacks is
affected by the Stereo/Mono setting.
Processor Loop
Connects or disconnects an external equalizer or
room correction processor.
The Trim Settings are stored in memory indepen
-
dently for each Input Source Selected, except the
Meter Illumination and Display Brightness settings
of On or Off, which are the same for all inputs.
How to Select and Adjust Trim Functions
1. Press the Front Panel INPUT Knob to open the
Trim Menu.
2. Rotate it to select the desired Trim Function.
3. Rotate the VOLUME Knob to change the setting.
Note: the Remote Control TRIM Button together with the LEVEL
UP / LEVEL DN Button may also be used to access and
change Trim Functions.
Approximately 5 seconds after making any
changes, the Information Display will return to
indicate the Source Selection and Volume Level.
