balance between Left and Right channels.

Volume Resolution –

. ‘Fine’

and ‘Standard’ represent different levels of volume control
sensitivity. The ‘Reference’ setting gives absolute increments
in 0.5dB steps.

Input Trims – use the source select buttons and Control
knob to set input trims for each source. Input trims are used
to compensate for variations in output levels of different
source equipment.

Processor Mode – This mode enables you to adjust the
gain of the amplifier. The amplifier can then be used to drive
the front left and right speakers in a surround sound system
when fed from a separate processor. You can then control
the volume of the entire system using the processor, feeding
the sound into the

amplifiers that drive your other loudspeakers.

signal for recording:

the volume setting at switch-on.

trims, to their factory defaults.
