851E/W used with an AV receiver

connected to Input 7 (which is then

set to fixed gain mode).

5.1 speaker connections shown.

Volume trim

Note: The Volume Trim menu item is hidden if the Fixed Volume is

enabled.

The relative levels of the inputs can be adjusted by gain trim. This allows

each to be adjusted so that each sounds the same in terms of average

loudness when you switch between them. Pick the loudest sounding

source and trim its level until it matches the average perceived level of

the others. Repeat this process if other sources also stand out as louder

than the average.

To set the input gain trim for each source, press and hold the required

input source button then select Vol Trim in the submenu:

Press the Enable button and use the volume control to set the gain

between 0 and -12 dB (the available range is restricted if the volume

is set very low). Press the Apply button to temporarily hear the new gain

settings, re-adjust the gain if necessary and press the Apply button

again. Press the Save button to save and exit the submenu.

Pressing the Current button will display the current volume value. This

is a useful function when setting new gain value and comparing it to the

current volume.

The other two settings sets the gain as following:

Minimum – Sets the minimum gain value to -1dB.

Maximum – Sets the maximum gain value to -12dB.
