Peak meter on/off
The meter display shows both VU and peak metering (de-
fault).
The meter display shows only VU metering. The peak me-
tering is not shown.
VU meter reference level
The default value is “0 dB”. You can select between “0 dB”
and “+7 dB” in 1 dB steps.
<Memo>:
It is recommended to change the reference level
appropriately when an external audio device connected to the
outputs of the unit has enough headroom. Normally, set it to “0”.
<Memo>:
If you set the reference level other than “0”, “+” is lit
beside the “0” position of the VU meter, showing that the 0 VU
level is not the reference level.
