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 on page 23 or pages 49 and 50, 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 adjustment range is “18 dB — (Maximum value of channel level)”.)

Input mode when playing DTS sources

Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs are played in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.

When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to connect the source component to the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to “DTS”.
