McIntosh C200 - Manual (Page 20)

20
The C200 offers three choices for the rate-of-change in
volume levels as the Volume Control Knob is rotated. The
VOLUME SLOW Setting permits the smallest changes in
volume per degree of rotation, as the Volume Control Knob
is rotated. The VOLUME FAST Setting permits larger
changes in volume per degree of rotation, as the Volume
Control Knob is rotated. The VOLUME VRV (Variable
Rate Volume), which is the default setting, combines the
best of the Volume Fast and Slow Settings, plus adds an
additional Super Fast rate-of-change at the very beginning
of rotation. At the start of the Volume Control Rotation, the
changes in volume per degree of rotation are very rapid and
then the changes in volume become smaller as the rotation
of the Volume Control continues.

Balance Control Rate-of-Change
There are two choices for the rate-of-change in the Left and
Right Channel Volume Levels as the Balance Control Knob
is rotated. The BALANCE SLOW Setting permits the
smallest changes in channel balance, with the changes be-
ing proportional to the speed of rotation, as the Balance
Control Knob is turned. The BALANCE VRB (Variable
Rate Balance), which is the default setting, the changes in
channel volume level are accelerated as the speed of the
Balance Control Knob is increased.
1. Press the SETUP Push-button to access the Setup
Mode.
2. Rotate the BALANCE Control Knob until the words
BALANCE VRB appears. Refer to figure 16.
3. Rotate the LISTEN Switch Knob and select the BAL-
ANCE SLOW setting. Refer to figure 17.
4. Press the SETUP Push-button to exit the Setup Mode.
Passthru Mode
The C200 can be part of a Multichannel Sound System for
DVD-Audio and Home Theater. The Right and Left Front
Channels from a McIntosh A/V Control Center or Surround
Decoder can “Passthru” the C200 and onto its associated
Power Amplifier(s). The Setup Mode allows the activation
of the Passthru Mode and the Selection of the C200 Input
that will be used for the Right and Left Front Channels. In
the example below, the Right and Left Front Channels from
the Multichannel Processor/Decoder will be connected to
the AUX 2 Input Sockets on the C200.
