Use to adjust the volume.
• The volume level is displayed on the master volume level display.
The volume can be adjusted between the range of –80 ~ 0 ~ 18

Cautions when playing DTS sources:
• For DTS sources, be sure to connect the device to the digital
input terminal and set "AUTO" or "DTS" for the input source.
Noise will be generated if you play in the "ANALOG" or "PCM"
mode.
• When playing DTS signals in the "AUTO" mode, noise may be
generated when you first start playing and during searching. If so,
play in the "DTS" mode.
