Using the digital surround processor

To mute the sound
● Press Mute.
The display will show:
Mute
To restore the sound
● Press Mute again.
Alternatively, the sound will be restored if you adjust the volume.
The digital surround processor adjusts the volume in precise
steps of 1dB, where 9dB is equivalent to doubling the loudness.
The current volume setting is displayed in dB on the front panel
display, and can be varied in the range 1 to 99dB.
When you first connect power to the digital surround processor
the volume is set to 65, which is similar to the midway position
of the rotary volume control on a conventional preamplifier.
A setting of 87 corresponds to THX reference gain, the level at
which film soundtracks are mixed. For normal to high-level
listening you should expect to use volume levels in the range 60
to 90.
To change the volume
● Press A or V (front panel), or the red A or V keys on the
remote.
As you adjust the volume setting the display will show the
current volume level.
