MASTER VOLUME	controller

To adjust the volume, use the MASTER VOLUME control or the remote controller’s [VOL] button.

Since the AV receiver is designed for home theaters, it has a wide volume range for precise adjustment. The volume can be set to Min, 1 through 79, or Max.

For the Customer Using the HT-S5105 Home Theater System or the Powered Sub- woofer.

Note: When the subwoofer volume level is set to a positive (+) value, the maximum master volume level is reduced proportionally.

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control.

Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there’s a temptation to set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.
