Mute Control

The Mute button reduces the SSP volume by a pre-determined amount.
Pressing it a second time restores the volume to its previous level. This
behavior can be easily customized for very specific user requirements. (See
the section on Volume Setup for more information.)
NOTE: If you increase the volume using either the front panel
volume knob or the remote control while Mute is engaged, the
mute control disengages, and audio adjustments are executed
starting from the muted level. This is a safety measure to prevent
accidentally restoring the volume at unexpectedly high levels.
9 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.
