16 P/SP-1500 Owner's Manual
Using the Trim Function for Temporary Level Adjustment
If you want to temporarily adjust the individual levels of any channel for a particular soundtrack or
recording, use the Trim button on the remote control. For example, you may want to boost your
subwoofer or surround levels for a particular soundtrack without having to change the levels back when
you play your next selection.
The Trim function works in much the same way as the calibration function. Since the Trim function is
designed to let you make adjustments "on-the-fly", the on-screen display is superimposed on the picture
you are viewing instead of turning the screen blue or red. Begin adjusting levels by holding down the
Trim button on the remote control while watching either the front panel and/or on-screen display.
Upon entering this mode, the on-screen display flashes TRIM LEVELS. It also displays the individual
channels and their decibel levels. At the same time, the master level changes to 0 dB to represent THX
reference level and the letter L will flash on-screen and on the front panel. As you continue to press the
Trim button, the displays will advance in the order of L, C, R, LS, RS, AND SUB. Advance through the
individual channels by sequentially pressing the Trim button. Adjust the channel level with the volume
buttons on the remote control to suit your tastes. As you press the volume up or down button, the
decibel levels in the on-screen and the front panel displays will change in 1 dB increments for the
channel that is flashing.
Once you have finished the Trim sequence after adjusting the subwoofer (if desired), press Trim again.
You will automatically exit from the Trim mode and the screen will return to normal. Since the trim
function is temporary, if you change inputs, modes, or turn the P/SP-1500 off, the individual channel
levels will automatically return to the settings memorized during calibration.
