+dB/–dB LEDs indicate the polarity of the audio level setting (+dB = gain, –dB = attenuation).

Saving or recalling a preset

+dB and –dB are secondary functions of the Video and Audio LEDs.

Each audio input gain and attenuation indicator indicates a range of 6 dB when lit. (Output 1 LED off = 0 dB to 5 dB, Output 1 lit = 6 dB to 11 dB, Output 1 and 2 lit = 12 dB to 17 dB, Output 1 through 3 lit = 18 dB.) The level indicators are secondary functions of the Output 1
