Hello all,
I just stumbled onto something that seems somewhat peculiar to me. Not sure if it's normal or not. I noticed that if I change the trim for my front L & R channels while in stereo bypass mode, I can't hear the change. And by that I mean, there is no changel in the level of sound. (verified using SPL meter) If I change the trim while in 6-channel bypass I DO hear the level change. Normal? Don't really care either way, just want to make sure my 950 is working as designed... As an FYI, I have the 6 channel analog out from my Denon 2900 into the 5.1 analog on the 950 and the stereo analog out of the 2900 into the DVD analog in on the 950.

As always, thanks in advance.

i don't have a 950 but my guess would be stereo bypass would bypass this setting,again,just a guess

painttoad,

Thanks for the speedy reply. That was my thought too. But shouldn't it behave the same in both analog bypass modes?

i'd say no just because now you are dealing with 6 inputs,i really need to get a 950,feel like i already know a bit about it.but it'll be awhile,just bought 3 new subs for the truck so now for the 7th time in 2 1/2 years,gut it n do it again!

Let's see what the resident expert thinks: Gonk, you out there?

Channel trim is most important for surround material. Think about a two-channel receiver - do you have left/right trim control? Granted, balance control could be considered to do something similar, but I suspect what the 950 is doing is bypassing the trim control along with a lot of other processing when it is in stereo bypass mode. The six-channel input would need to still strongly benefit from having the delay and trim adjustments applied, which is why you are still seeing trim adjustments affect output on that input.

gonk,
Thanks for the reply. Makes perfect sense. It's all so clear to me now.
