Graphical user interface (GUI) menu Max Volume (Maximum volume) Use this feature to set the maximum volume level in the main zone. This feature is useful to avoid the unexpected loud sound by mistake. For example, the original volume range is -80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when "Max Volume" is set to -5.0 dB, the volume range becomes -80.0 dB to -5.0 dB. Control range: -30.0 dB to +15.0 dB, +16.5 dB Control step: 5.0 dB Initial Volume (Initial volume) Use this feature to set the volume level of the main zone when the power of this unit is turned on. Choices: Off, Mute, -80.0 dB to +16.5 dB Control step: 0.5 dB Notes • When this unit is in the auto setup procedure, the volume level is automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current "Max Volume" setting. • The "Max Volume" setting takes priority over the initial volume setting. Muting Type (Muting type) Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function reduces the output volume (page 38). Choice Functions Full Mutes all the audio output. -20dB Reduces the current volume by 20 dB. -40dB Reduces the current volume by 40 dB. Setup (Sound) Use this menu to adjust the sound parameters. ■ LFE Level (Low-frequency effect level) Use this feature to adjust the output level of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel according to the capacity of your subwoofer or headphones. The LFE channel carries low-frequency special effects which are only added to certain scenes. This setting is effective only when this unit decodes bitstream signals. Control range: -20.0 to 0.0 dB Control step: 1.0 dB Speaker (Speaker low-frequency effect level) Select to adjust the speaker LFE level.
