VOLUME CONTROL

Settings
Volume control can be set to either Variable or Fixed level.
Variable: Volume level is adjusted using the volume knob or SR 9's
[VOL 5/6] buttons.
Fixed: This setting should be selected when C 388 is connected to the
output of a preamplifier and is used primarily as a power amplifier.
Output level is fixed and the C 388's Volume Control is bypassed. This
feature is sometimes referred to as "Cinema Bypass" because it allows the
C 388 to be used for the front channels of a surround sound system by
Settings
relegating the volume control function to the surround processor.
At Fixed volume level setting, front panel display will show "xx.x dB Fix"
where "xx.x" is the preset dB level.
