The Overhead Level trimpot is located on the back panel by

the power connector. This will only need adjustment if you

are employing overhead speakers and amplifier.

The Hearing Impaired level and Backup Level adjustments

are located in the A-Chain trimpots section on the left hand

end of the main baord. The Preamp Calibration selector

switch is located just behind the Backup Level trimpot.

When the slide switch is to the left, the Left Channel

preamp is selected. When moved to the right, it selects the

Right Channel preamp.
