Note that the front panel volume control is electronic, unlike the traditional mechanical potentiometer volume controls on most conventional audio equipment. Electronic volume controls require more than one rotation to go from complete silence to maximum volume level, and there is no fixed start or stop point. As the volume control is changed a visual indicator will appear on screen (Figure OSD-13) to provide a visual reference of the volume level. Volume changes will also be shown on the front panel display (Figure FPD-8).
