Channel Trim
Channel trim allows you to fine tune the channel levels
to compensate for various soundtrack anomalies. For
example, you may play a movie and find that the center
(dialogue) channel is weak, making the movie hard to
follow. Simply trimming the center channel up a dB
or two can fix the problem. Or another film may have
substantially more bass than normal and trimming the
subwoofer channel down a dB or two may help balance
the sound correctly.
This function can be accessed in two ways. You can press
the ch. trim button on the remote control, or you can
access this feature through the main menu. The channel
trim menu is shown below.
To adjust channel trim from the main menu:
1. While playing the program material with output that
you wish to fine tune, press the menu button to enter the
main menu.
The main menu appears on the front panel display and the
OSD. The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the input
configuration menu and input config appears on the front
panel display.
2. Press the button until the channel trim menu is
selected. The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the
channel trim menu and channel trim appears on the front
panel display.
