Max Volume (Maximum volume)
Use this feature to set the maximum volume level in the main
zone. This feature is useful to avoid the unexpected loud
sound by mistake. For example, the original volume range is
–80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when "Max Volume" is set
to –5.0 dB, the volume range becomes –80.0 dB to –5.0 dB.
Control range: –30.0 dB to +15.0 dB, +16.5 dB
Control step: 5.0 dB
Initial Volume (Initial volume)
Use this feature to set the volume level of the main zone
when the power of this unit is turned on.
Choices: Off, Mute, –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB
Control step: 0.5 dB
Notes
• When this unit is in the auto setup procedure, the volume level
is automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current "Max
Volume" setting.
• The "Max Volume" setting takes priority over the initial volume
setting.
Muting Type (Muting type)
Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function
reduces the output volume (page 38).
Choice
Full Mutes all the audio output.
–20dB Reduces the current volume by 20 dB.

channel carries low-frequency special effects which are
only added to certain scenes. This setting is effective only
when this unit decodes bitstream signals.
Control range: –20.0 to 0.0 dB
Control step: 1.0 dB
