TRIM LEVEL

Source Components can have slightly different volume
levels resulting in the need to readjust the MA5200
Volume Control when switching between different
sources. The MA5200 allows the adjustment of levels
for each of the Source Inputs for the desired same rela-
tive volume. The TUNER and CD Inputs are used in
the following example.
Note: The range of adjustment is ± 6dB. The level
adjustments made are retained in permanent mem-
ory. They can be changed during operation of the
MA5200 by performing a Trim Level Procedure.
1. Press the TUNER Push-button on the Remote
Control and press the VOLume Push-button +/-
for the desired listening level.

5. Press the TRIM LEVEL +/-Push-button on
the Remote Control to achive the same relative
volume as the TUNER Input. In our example the
relative volume level of the CD Input is louder
than the TUNER Input, so the trim level for
the Server Input is reduced to -2.5 dB. Refer to
figure 58.
6. Repeat steps 1 thru 4 until the relative volume is
the same between the TUNER and CD Inputs.

with component sources connected until they
all have the same relative volume levels. Record
