Channel Trim
Channel Trim allows you to fine-tune the channel levels to compensate for
various soundtrack anomalies. For example, you may play a movie and find
that the center (dialogue) channel sounds weak, making the movie hard to
follow. Simply trimming the center channel up a decibel or two can fix the
problem. Or another movie may have much more bass than normal; trim-
ming the subwoofer channel down a few decibels should balance the sound
correctly.
You can trim the channels while you are listening to a source, or you can
trim the channels using the Model 990’s internal test tone. The trim range is
+15 dB to –15 dB.
To adjust channel level while listening to a source:
1. Press TEST on the remote control.
“TEST OFF” will appear on-screen (provided you have set OSD MSG:
ON in the Configuration menu for the currently used input) and on
the front-panel display.
2. Press SET on the remote control twice.

3. Press or on the remote control until the channel you want to
trim is displayed.
4. Press SET.
5. Press or on the remote to raise or lower the level of the
channel.
The channel level will be shown on-screen and in the front-panel display.
A channel level of 0 dB represents the normal level.
6. Press SET when you are finished adjusting the channel.
7. Press or to choose the next channel you want to trim, and repeat
the process.
8. Press EXIT on the remote control to exit Channel Trim mode, or wait
a few seconds for the display to disappear.
To adjust channel level using the test tone:
