VOLUME SETUP
The M51 VOLUME control function is dependent upon the "Volume Setup"
menu setting. "Volume" can either be set to "Fixed" or "Variable". Press
[SETUP] button to launch "Volume Setup" menu. From "Volume Setup"
menu, press [ENTER] or [S] to bring up "Fixed" or "Variable" settings.
Fixed
If "Volume" is set to "Fixed", audio output level is fixed and the M51's
Volume Control is bypassed.
• Press [D/F] to set a desired preset dB level. Confirm setting by
pressing [ENTER] or [S]. Thereafter, audio output from M51 can be
adjusted by using the volume control of the separate amplifier the
M51 is linked into.
• If "Volume Setup" is set to "Fixed", remote control's [VOL 5/6] will
have no effect and effectively disabled.
Variable
• When set to "Variable", the Volume level is directly adjustable using
the remote control's [VOL 5/6] button. Correspondingly, audio
output from M51 can be adjusted by using the volume control of
the separate amplifier the M51 is linked into.

reversed at the output.
RENAMING A SOURCE INPUT
A particular source input can be renamed according to your preference.
You can use up to 16 characters in renaming a source input. Below is

upper section of the VFD.
2 Then, press and hold [DISP] button until "HDMI 1" is shown in the upper
section of the VFD and with "H" flashing.
3 Within 5 seconds, toggle the [D/F] buttons to select the first character
("B" from the alphabetical list). The ranges of characters available are A-Z,
a-z, _ (space) and 0-9.
4 Press [S] or [ENTER] to select the character and at the same time move
