Input Level Trim
Different source components can have different output levels. When switching inputs, this will
cause some sources to sound louder than others. The Input Level Trim feature provides a
method of ‘balancing’ the relative loudness of the different sources. Each input can be attenuated
up to 15db in 1db increments from unity gain.
To properly adjust trim, all sources must be connected to their appropriate inputs on the C-6
Controller. They must all be loaded with program material (Radio station, CD, DVD, Video Tape
etc.) and playing. When selecting program material, choose material with similar characteristics.
That is, don’t have the Tuner set to an easy listening station while the CD player is playing high
octane shred metal. Consider also the dynamics of movies from DVD and Satellite where the
sound track can range from low level dialogue to sound of jet engines and explosions. To set
Input Level Trim:
1. Load and play all sources as recommended above.
2. Press SELECT on the Programming Keypad to cycle through all inputs. Make a mental note of
which sources are ‘louder’ than others.
3. Press MENU to enter the Setup Menu. INPUT LEVEL TRIM will be listed in the menu options.
Press ▼ on the Navigation Array to scroll through the menu options to Input Level Trim. When
► appears to the left of Input Level Trim, Press ENTER. The Display will change to the Input
Level Trim Window.

5. Press ► in the Navigation Array. The Programming Brackets [] will move to LEVEL: [0dB].
6. Press ▲ and ▼ in the Navigation Array to adjust the input level as needed.
NOTE: Input Level Trim adjustments cannot be monitored while in Setup Menu. The settings
must be stored and the Controller must be in a normal use mode to cycle through the inputs to
monitor changes in Input Trim Levels.
7. Press ◄ or ► to return the programming brackets to [TUNER] (or current input).

audio levels from all sources. Adjust as needed.

Page/Mute
The C-6 can be used for whole-house paging when used with an appropriately featured
telephone system or microphone preamp having a line level audio output and 12VDC control
output. It also has a zone mute function that can be used to mute selected zones with a 12VDC
control input. Both features, Page and Mute have a variable timeout of 1-60 seconds, to set how
long the selected source will be interrupted when triggered by a 12VDC pulse. To program Page
and Mute functions:
