Adjusting the Audio Level
4 Turn the AUDIO LEVEL CH1 control at the bottom of the front panel to adjust the input vol- ume so that the audio level display appears as shown below.
ÁWhen the input volume is normal, the audio level display turns ON up to the seventh of the eight level display bars from the left.
