The volume can be adjusted within the range of –80 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 0.5 dB. However, when the channel level is set as described on page 32~34 or pages 68 and 69 if the volume for any channel is set at +0.5 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)”.)
