How to Operate the Trim Mode

complished from either the Front Panel Controls or with the
supplied Remote Control, very conveniently from the Lis-
tening/Viewing Area. The Front Panel Alphanumeric Dis-
play indicates the Trim Mode Selected and Trim Levels.

tening to music or a movie sound track. Refer to figures 37
