BALANCE
Listening balance varies with different program sourc-
es, room acoustics and listening positions relative to
the Loudspeakers. Use the Balance (Trim Function) as
needed to achieve approximately equal listening vol-
ume levels in each Loudspeaker. To adjust the Balance
perform the following:
1. Press the TRIM Push-button repeatedly on the
Remote Control until "L BALANCE R" appears
on the Front Panel Information Display. Refer to
figure 53.
Note: The Front Panel TRIM and ADJUST Controls
may also be used.

TRIM LEVEL
Source Components can have slightly different volume
levels resulting in the need to readjust the C12000
Volume Control when switching between different
sources. The C12000 allows the adjustment of levels
for each of the Source Inputs for the same relative
volume. To adjust the Trim Level for the currently
selected Input Source perform the following steps:
1. Select "INPUT TRIM" as indicated on the Front
Panel Information Display. Refer to figure 56.

2. Adjust the Trim Level of each Input to match the
average volume level of the Input most frequently
listened to. The range of adjustment is ± 6.0dB in
half dB steps. Refer to figures 57 and 58.
