Adjusting the volume

The volume can be adjusted by turning the big wheel or pressing volume up/down on the remote control. The volume level is displayed in decibels (dB where 99.9dB is the maximum setting giving full power for a full-scale input from a digital source. Note that no clipping is possible. Some recordings may be recorded at a lower level that doesn't make use of the full16 bit dynamic range of the CD. The Millennium will not deliver full power with such records. The volume is adjusted in approx. 500 uniform steps of 0.1dB. The value displayed is always rounded to 0.1dB resolution. However not all 3-digit volume levels can be set, the value will increase with either 0.1dB or 0.2dB according to the rounding number.

Pre-set Volume

When the Millennium is turned on, the volume is set to a pre-programmed value. This level can easily be changed; adjust the volume to the desired level, press the A and D buttons Simultaneously for 2 seconds. The display will confirm the setting by flashing the volume and the amplifier automatically enters standby mode.

Maximum output level

The volume control with its low-friction, high precision ball bearings can easily spin up to full output. To prevent damage to your speakers, a maximum volume level can easily be programmed, you can find out how to do this in the section “Remote Control”.

Power

At a first glance, the operation of this very accurate dB scaled volume control may come as a bit of a surprise. Normal operation will be at levels that seem to be very close to the maximum power of the amplifier.

The dB’s scale is not linear

Volume level Corresponds to (at BA) 99.9dB………150 W

96.9dB………..75 W

92.9dB………..30 W

89.9dB………..15 W

82.9dB…………3 W

79.9dB………..1.5W

Keep in mind that the dB scale is not linear, a 10dB increase corresponds to 10 times the power level and a 3dB increase equals 2 times the power.

Set the dimmer display light control

When the Millennium is in operational mode (ON), three levels of display-light settings are possible. The DIM function on the remote control (explained later) toggles between:

A. Maximum light

B.Dimmed

C.Dimmed and volume display/input indicators off

Regardless of this setting, any change in display information activates maximum light for two seconds.
