Additional settings (continued) Volume display setting Disp>*** You can set how the volume level is shown. The default value is "dB". Step The volume is shown in steps (0 to 99). dB The volume is shown in decibels (−∞ to 0.0 dB). "---" is displayed when no sound (−∞ dB) is output. oo When set to dB, the dB indicator appears at the top right of the display. Volume curve setting VolTable>*** With this unit, the volume level can be adjusted from −∞ to 0 dB. This range is divided into 100 steps (called the "volume curve") from 0 to 99. You can select from the 5 different volume curves (A, B, C, D and E) shown below. The default setting is "A". Volume [dB] 0 -10 -20 -30 -40 -50 A -60 B -70 C -80 D -90 E ʿ 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 99 Steps RCA output setting RCAOut>*** Use this setting to turn RCA jack output ON or OFF. The default setting is "OFF". OFF Signals are not output from the RCA jacks. ON Signals are output from the RCA jacks. Through (Thru) output setting (RCA 2) RCA2>*** You can select whether to use the RCA 2 jacks as normal input connectors or as signal through connectors. The default setting is "NML". NML (normal) Select this to use the RCA 2 jacks as normal input connectors. THRU (through) The volume level adjusted using the VOLUME knob is ignored when this setting is selected. Sound signals passing through the RCA 2 jacks are output as they are. (No gain adjustment is made by the preamplifier.) After selecting "THRU", press the STANDBY/ON (setting) button to activate the setting. "THRU" appears on the display instead of the volume level set by using the VOLUME knob. For example, if you connect the pre-out jacks (FRONT L/R) of an AV amplifier to this unit's RCA 2 jacks, and set RCA2 to "THRU", you can also use the speakers connected through this unit as the front speakers of the AV amplifier. (When set to "RCA2", the AV amplifier controls volume adjustment.) oo If through output (RCA2) is set to THRU and the input source is RCA 2, the VOLUME knob will not function. VV Since this unit's VOLUME knob will not function when set to "THRU", be careful if you connect a device that does not have a volume control to the RCA 2 inputs. When you change the input source to RCA2, very loud sounds could be output suddenly, resulting in harm to your hearing and damage to the speakers. When connecting a device that does not have a volume control to the RCA 2 inputs and setting RCA2 to "THRU", always connect a device that has a volume control to this unit's analog output connectors (LINE OUT). Use that device to minimize the volume before switching the input source to RCA2, and then gradually raise the volume level. 22
