Viewing and Adjusting the Input Audio Level

The audio level of each input can be displayed and adjusted through a range of -18 dB to +24 dB to ensure that there is no noticeable volume difference among sources (see figure 25). The audio level can be adjusted from the front panel or under remote control. The default audio level is 0 dB.
