Changing channel balance is sometimes required where there is uneven signal from
left to right, (or vice versa), or an uneven room acoustic, requiring a compensating
adjustment to equalize volume level from both channels.
15. 1 Front Panel:
User input:
User holds the Balance button down and rotates the volume control.
Turning the volume control clockwise varies channel balance
towards the right channel by lowering the left channel volume.
Turning the volume control counter-clockwise varies the balance
setting towards the left channel by lowering the right channel
volume.
Indication:
The LED for the Balance switch turns on and the display panel
changes to indicate the channel balance state: If the two channels are
balanced, the display changes to double dash, and if out of balance
then display changes to display either directional bar in direction of
out-of-balance and volume display shows degree of out-of-balance.
If the channels are out of balance, when the display reverts to
volume display the directional bar is displayed next to the volume
level indication in whichever direction the balance is out of balance,
either on left (for leftward balance) or on right (for rightward
balance).
A few seconds after the BALANCE button is released the numerical
display returns to indicating the volume setting, and depending upon
user setting, out-of-balance direction bar is either displayed or
suppressed for out-of-balance settings after releasing balance button.
Status:
The unit goes into Balance Setting mode when the Balance button is
pressed and the display indicates the balance offset value. The
Balance LED is lit during balance setting mode.
15.2 Remote:
User input:
User holds down either Balance button. Holding down the right
button varies channel balance towards the right channel by lowering
the left channel volume. Holding down the left button varies the
balance setting towards the left channel by lowering the right
channel volume.
Indication:
The Balance indicator LED on the front panel turns on and the
display panel changes to indicate the balance state: If the two
channels are balanced, the display shows a double dash. If out of
balance then display changes to degree of out-of-balance, and when
the volume display reverts to displaying volume, the directional bar
is displayed next to the volume level indication in whichever
direction the balance is out of balance, either on left (for leftward
balance) or on right (for rightward balance). The balance display
remains unchanged for 2 seconds after the Balance button is
released, and the display returns to indicating the volume setting.
