Adjusting the volume

The digital surround processor adjusts the volume in precise steps of 1dB, where 9dB is equivalent to doubling the loudness. The current volume setting is displayed in dB on the front panel display, and can be varied in the range 1 to 99dB. When you first connect power to the digital surround processor the volume is set to 65, which is similar to the mid-way position of the rotary volume control on a conventional preamplifier.
