MAIN ZONE Menu

Power Up Source

This sets the input source which the EMO button will then always select whenever the DMC-1 is turned on.

Power Up Volume Mode

This lets you choose the volume level the DMC-1 reaches when

it is turned on. You can select from a PRESET level, set below

(the power-up volume), or it can play at the LAST level it was

playing before it was turned off. The DMC-1 will always

turn on at the level set here, but it can be adjusted to any

level afterwards.

Power Up Volume

This allows you to set the PRESET volume level mentioned above. You might want to set it to a low level to avoid any surprises upon turn-on, especially if other users like loud music.

Max Volume

The volume can be set to not exceed a certain level chosen by you. This is useful if you have sensitive speakers, sensitive neighbors, or you would rather not have others play your system too loud. Finally, a smart preamplifier where YOU can police the volume without even being there!

ZONE 2 Menu

These settings are like those described for the Main Zone. In addition, the entire Zone 2 can be enabled or disabled, and the stereo balance adjusted with this menu.

The Power Up Volume has three options: PRESET, LAST and

FIXED. The FIXED option allows you to set the Zone 2 to a fixed

volume, not adjustable with the remote. PRESET and LAST are

as described for the Main Zone.
