Front IR
Used in conjunction with Custom Installation (C.I.) systems or IR
repeater systems, it may be desirable to disable the front panel IR by
setting FRONT IR to off (press the input select button to turn off). Press
the Mode button to exit.
Input gain trim
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, select INP TRIM in the System
Configure menu. Select the input required 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 Mode button to exit.

Fixed level inputs
Any input of the 840E is able to be set for fixed gain. Whenever this input
is selected the gain will automatically go to this value and will not be
adjustable by the volume control. This can be useful with sources that
have their own built in volume control (such as some set-top boxes etc.)
Also, this feature can be used to integrate an AV Receiver which has pre-
amp outputs (such as our own 540R or 640R models) with the 840E.
The front Left and Right pre-amp outputs of the AV Receiver are simply fed
to any desired input of the 840E and that input set for fixed gain. The AV
receiver is then wired to the various surround speakers whilst the 840E/W
drives the Front Left and Right.
The 840E/W can then be used for Stereo sources as normal for best
sound quality. When it is desired to decode surround sound, select the
input chosen for fixed gain on the 840E. Now the AV Receiver can be used
to decode any of it’s surround sound sources. It will have control of the
volume of all channels and the 840E’s own volume control will be
disabled.
You may wish to re-name the fixed level input as “AV mode” or similar on
the 840E. As the gain can be fixed to any value it is easy to match the
level of the 840E to that of the other AV channels.
To set a fixed volume for a source, select FIXED INP in the System
Configure menu:
Select the input required and set the fixed gain using the volume control
(the OFF setting does not disable the input but leaves the input gain
subject to the volume control which is the default setting). When a
source has a fixed input, the balance is always set to neutral. Press the
Mode button to exit.
