3.4.5  Line In Trim 
Line In Trim can be set to any of eight preset trim settings. The Line In Trim button shows the currently selected trim level, the same 
for the Left and Right inputs. 
There are four Pro Level settings: +18 dBu; +20 dBu; +22 dBu; and +24 dBu. There are four additional levels most often used on 
Consumer Audio products: +0 dBV; +2 dBV; +4 dBV and +6 dBV. 
When the button is pushed, a Selection Window pops up. Pushing the desired Level button resets the inputs and immediately indicates 
this on the Line In Button. You will typically hear a relay click from inside Hilo when a selection is made. 
Note: These are 0dBFS (full-scale) level settings, as opposed to nominal levels. 
Trim pots are available to fine tune these inputs. See Appendix 5.2 for more information. 
3.4.6  Line Out Trim 
Line Out Trim can be set to any of eight preset trim settings, the same as for Line In. 
This works exactly the same as the Line In Trim. Push the button and make your selection. 
Note: Each Line In and Line Out Trim can be adjusted ±0.5 dB of the established trim settings using the trim pots that are located on 
the bottom of the circuit board. See Section 7.3: Setting Trim Pots for more information. 
3.4.7  Digital In Source 
Hilo offers a choice of AES or S/PDIF as the digital input 
source. With S/PDIF you have the option of Coax or 
Optical Inputs. 
Before being pushed, this button shows the current 
selection. Upon pushing the button, you can select: 
AES; S/PDIF Coax; or S/PDIF Optical. If selecting 
SPDIF Optical, the Optical Out mode must be set to 
SPDIF. See Section 3.4.4. 
Note: You do not need to make this choice for outputs, as 
all three digital outputs are independently available and 
assignable.
