a. Volume Display

You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting on screen.

Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of min (0) for no sound and a maximum of max (100). As a reference, the volume setting of Ref (82) is used as the 0-decibel for the relative display method.

Relative: This displays the volume as a decibel value on a scale with a designated reference point that is displayed as 0, which equals the volume setting of 82 for the absolute display method. With this display method, the minimum value is –∞, the next highest is –81, and the maximum value is +18.

b. Muting Level

This sets the attenuation level during playback when the MUTE button is pressed on the remote controller. This can be set between

–∞, –50 and –10 decibels in 10-decibel increments.

c. Maximum Volume

This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that can be output with the MASTER VOLUME dial to prevent components from being damaged by excessively loud volumes. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between 50 and 99. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between –32 and +17 decibels. To not set a maximum volume, select “Off.”

d. Power On Volume

This sets a designated volume setting for the TX-DS898 to be set every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the TX-DS898 from being turned on while it is set to an extremely high volume and suddenly output very loud sounds. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between min and max. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between –∞ and +18 decibels. If you do not mind having the TX-DS898 turned on with its current volume setting, set this to “Last.”
