8 Volume Control Knob
The large rotary knob on the right side of the front panel controls the
system volume level. It is also used for adjustments such as balance and
input offset.
T he volume knob increases and decreases volume in precise 0.5 dB
increments throughout most of the volume range. At extremely low
volume, the step size is increased somewhat to facilitate moving between
extremely low and normal listening levels. The volume range is from
-93 dB to +14.0 dB.
The volume control expresses the degree of attenuation or amplification
being applied to the incoming signal. Therefore, a setting of -23.0 indicates
that the signal is being attenuated by 23.0 dB. A volume setting of 0.0
indicates that no attenuation or amplification is being applied. This is
the setting used for the Pass-Thru mode explained in the Source Setup
description in the Menu System section of this manual.
