This menu allows you to set the level of attenuation used whenever the DC-2 MUTE function is engaged. In the Output Levels menu, attenuation levels of -10dB, -20dB, -30dB, -40dB, and FULL are available.

This control in the Output Levels menu allows you to select the volume at which the DC-2 will power on. You can choose from a range of -80 to +12dB, or elect to have the system power on at the last level used (LAST LVL).

This control in the Output Levels menu allows you to select the initial volume level for Zone 2. You can choose from a range of -80 to +12dB, or elect to have Zone 2 power on at the last level used (LAST LVL).

The Listener Position menu is used for setting the surround and center delays and calibrating the Panorama effect.

The Speaker Distance control automatically sets the appropriate time delays for all of the loudspeakers in a system. Although this adjustment is not a substitute for proper speaker placement, it will help to ensure accurate signal arrival times from all channels at the listening position.

To set up Speaker Distance, you must physically measure the distance from the primary listening position to the front baffle of each individual speaker in your system. An easy and accurate way to accomplish this is to have a person sit in the primary listening position, holding the end of a measuring tape, while a second person extends the tape measure to the front baffle of each speaker in turn.

To enter these values, select SPEAKER DISTANCE in the Listener Position menu and press SELECT. Use ▲and ▼ to highlight feet or meters and press SELECT. Press SELECT again to highlight NEAREST SPKR. Use ▲ and ▼ to enter the actual distance, then press DONE.
