Source Components can have slightly different volume
levels resulting in the need to readjust the C2300
Volume Control when switching between different
sources. The C2300 allows the adjustment of levels for
each of the Source Inputs for the same relative volume.
The Tuner and CD Inputs are used in the following
example.
Note: The range of adjustment is ± 6dB. The Tape/Re-
cord Output Levels are unaffected by any changes
in the Level Trim Settings. The Trim adjustments
made are retained in permanent memory. They
can be changed by performing a new Trim Proce-
dure. The Tuner Input Volume Level can serve as
a reference or choose another source frequently
listened to. The reference Input Source should be
set to a Trim Level of 00.
1. Rotate the INPUT Control to select the Tuner
Input and adjust the VOLUME Control to the
desired listening level.
2. Press the SETUP Push-button to access the Setup
Mode.

TUN 0.0” appears on the Front Panel Alphanu-
meric Display. Refer to figure 4.
