input gain control 

CPM 3350 

You can adjust the input gain on your input devices so that you can align the volume levels 

of  your  different  inputs  There  are  four  settings  which  are  x1,  x1.5,  x1.75  and  x2.  This 

feature is not available on the CPA 2500 and the CPM 2650. 

Most modern input devices such as CD players have an unbalanced output voltage of 2V 

and a balanced output of 4V which does not require any additional gain. In fact, to increase 

the gain on such an output level can lead to a distortion of the signal.However, older 

audio equipment may have an output voltage of less than 2V, in which case you may 

like to adjust the input gain.

Using your remote control press HIFI and then the input device of your choice (eg 

Disc 1). The display will show: 

 

 

2.Press BUS-A (or BUS-B if you are going to record from the Tape 1 output). 

 

The display will show: 

 
 
 

3.Press the volume button marked Vol+ to increase the gain to x1.5. 

The display will show: 

 
 

 

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to increase the gain to x1.75, and repeat these steps once

 

again to increase the gain to x2.

.

Press BUS-A (or BUS-B is you are going to record from the Tape 1 output). 

3.Press the volume button marked Vol- to decrease the gain. 

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to reduce the gain again. 

 

Once you have adjusted the gain setting on an input device your amplifier will 

remember the setting, even if it is switched off for many months. 

to reset all gain levels to x1 on Bus A and Bus B 

1.

 

On the front of your amplifier press and hold the A button for three seconds. The 

display will show a gain setting. 

2.

 

Press and hold the Set(S) button until you see 

RESET 

Release the button

 

and the display will show five dashes. 

3. Select a source on either bus system.
