Volume Gain Selection

This lets you adjust the range covered by the VOLUME control. This is useful if you rarely listen at higher volumes, and want finer control over lower volumes. There are three volume gain settings:

0 dB:	Normal volume.
–6 dB:	The volume adjustable range is extended for lower
	level. You can finely adjust the volume level than
	that for “0 dB”.
–12 dB:	The volume adjustable range is further extended for
	lower level. You can finely adjust the volume level
	than that for “–6 dB”.

Example:

(0 dB)		(–6 dB)		(–12 dB)
		A		A
A
Min	Max	Min	Max	Min	Max
A: Volume level range you
usally use.		Volume adjustable range for “A” is extended.

Press the 0 dB, –6 dB, or –12 dB button on the Unit, or press the VOLUME GAIN SELECT button on the Remote Control to make your selection.

The following appears on the display for 2 seconds:.

•Volume Gain Selection

When you change the volume gain with the VOLUME GAIN SELECT button, the VOLUME control automatically turns so

that the volume level is kept almost the same.

Note:

•If you change the volume gain while listening to a music source, the sound may be muted for a few seconds before the new volume gain selection comes into effect. This happens in the following cases:

•Changing from the –12 dB selection to the –6 dB or 0 dB selections.

•Changing from the –6 dB selection to the 0 dB selection.
