network

volume

control.

When volume

Up or

Down is

selected

via the

front panel

or

the

remote

control,

the numeric

a 0--158

step

indication

of

the volume level.

The level

position will remain on the display for a few seconds and then return to the transport display mode.

To adjust listening level hold down either the volume Up or Down button. The volume will begin increasing or decreasing in one step increments. After a short time, the volume will begin changing in larger, multi-step increments. This is

intentional and allows for more rapid changes in volume adjustment.

To check your volume level without changing the level, briefly depress either the volume Up or Down button. The display will show your present volume level for a short time before returning to the transport display mode.

CAUTION:Do not connect the output of the KPS-20i/I to ~the input of a preamplifier The KPS-20i/I output is designed for connection directly to the input of an amplifier

and may damage a preamplifier input.
