Volume trim

Note: The Volume Trim menu item is hidden if the Fixed Volume is
enabled.
The relative levels of the inputs can be adjusted by gain trim. This allows
each to be adjusted so that each sounds the same in terms of average
loudness when you switch between them. Pick the loudest sounding
source and trim its level until it matches the average perceived level of
the others. Repeat this process if other sources also stand out as louder
than the average.
To set the input gain trim for each source, press and hold the required
input source button then select Vol Trim in the submenu:

Press the Enable button and use the volume control to set the gain
between 0 and -12 dB (the available range is restricted if the volume
is set very low). Press the Apply button to temporarily hear the new gain
settings, re-adjust the gain if necessary and press the Apply button
again. Press the Save button to save and exit the submenu.
Pressing the Current button will display the current volume value. This
is a useful function when setting new gain value and comparing it to the
current volume.
The other two settings sets the gain as following:
Minimum – Sets the minimum gain value to -1dB.
Maximum – Sets the maximum gain value to -12dB.
