Reduce the amplifier’s
gain (attenuation 8dB)
GGAAIINN ((2200))
Operating this key activates or deactivates an attenuation of 8dB,
which is applied to both the volume level of the speakers and also to
the signal output of the preamplifier “PRE OUTPUT” (14).
The GAIN-operation is useful, if the combination of amplifier and speaker
is so sensitive that the usable region of the volume control of the SV-234
lies at the lowest values. In this situation the volume steps are too coarse.
In this case, after first reducing the volume for the sake of caution, press
the “GAIN” button. If the GAIN setting was "00dB" (normal) before,
the display now shows "-08dB" in the front panel display. The perceived
loudness is now reduced and the output level at the preamplifier output
"PRE OUTPUT" (14) is smaller.
GAIN -08dB
...
GAIN -00dB
One more keypress to "GAIN" restores the original gain setting (00dB).
The GAIN function can only be used via remote control and is not
intended to be toggled in everyday use.
Change the brightness
of the front panel display
DDIIMMMMEERR ((77))
This function can only be operated using the associated front panel
button. When repeatedly pressed, the display brightness is reduced in
two steps (1x, 2x), switched off (3x) and restored to the original,
maximum brightness (4x).

((33))((1199))
One channel of the system (right or left) and thus one of the
loudspeakers can be adjusted to be more loud than the other one.
That may be wanted if your favorite listening position in the room is
closer to one speaker than to the other one resulting in a difference in
perceived volume. This balance adjustment can be made using the
corresponding remote controller buttons as well as using the
front panel buttons.
You are free to change the setting in 10 steps to each side (right or left).
The maximum difference appears at the setting displaying "+10dB".
The BALANCE setting does not affect the recording output (13) and is
not active as long as the input "LINE5 MAIN INPUT" (11) is selected.
Using the remote control: Press, if necessary repeatedly, the button
"BAL L" to boost the left channel volume compared to the right channel
volume. "BAL R" can be used to boost the right channel volume.
At the front panel: Press the button "CHANNEL" and don’t wait too long:
use "LEVEL
" or "LEVEL
" to change the BALANCE setting. While doing
this, the display shows the current BALANCE value and the side
(R: right or L: left) to which the BALANCE has been moved.
