Trim Level Adjustment

Source Components can have slightly different volume

levels resulting in the need to readjust the C220 Volume

Control when switching between different sources. The

C220 allows the adjustment of levels for each of the Source

Inputs for the same relative volume. The Tuner and CD

Inputs are used in the following example.

Note: The range of adjustment is ± 6dB. The Tape/Record

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 performing a new Trim Procedure. The Tuner Input

Volume Level can serve as a reference or choose an-

other source frequently listened to. The reference Input

Source should be set to a Trim Level of 00.
