Be aware that the main volume display on the front panel will differ if the speaker volume of even one speaker is changed from 0 decibels. In other words, if all the speaker levels are set to 0 decibels and you increase the main volume, the display will rise to “98,” “99,” and then “MAX.” If you now change the level of one speaker to +5 decibels and you increase the main volume, the display will rise to “93,” “94,” and then “MAX.”
