TRIM LEVEL

Source Components can have slightly different volume
levels resulting in the need to readjust the MA5300
Volume Control when switching between different
sources. The MA5300 allows the adjustment of levels
for each Source, ensuring 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 figures 50, 53
and 57.
INPUT TRIM
0.0 dB

2. Adjust the Trim Level of each Input to match the
R
average volume level of the Input most frequently
listened to. The range of adjustment is ± 6.0dB in
half dB steps. Refer to figures 58 and 59.
