the volume level of each source to prevent radi-
cal changes in volume when switching between
sources.
• Settings are based on the volume level of the
FM tuner, which remains unchanged.

the level of the source you wish to adjust.

not possible to apply source level adjustments

• The AM tuner volume level can also be
adjusted with source level adjustments.
• The built-in CD and the multi-CD players are
both set to the same source level adjustment
volume automatically.
• External unit 1 and External unit 2 are set to
the same volume adjustment setting automat-
ically.
