The volume can be adjusted within the range of –70 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB. However, when the channel level is

set as described ( page 29), if the volume for any channel is set at +1 dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume is adjusted to “18 dB — (Maximum value of channel level)”.)

The signals being input to the external decoder input terminals are played without passing through the surround circuitry.

•If the subwoofer output level is too high, set the “SW ATT.” surround parameter to “ON”.

NOTE:
