CHAPTER 1
6. Level
Rotate this manual control clock-
wise to increase the volume.
The dB level will appear in the
front panel display. Note that the
control knob does not rotate when
the remote is used. When turning
on a new source, make sure the
level is low, such as -80 dB and
increase it slowly. The dB display
becomes less negative as the
volume increases.
Note: When the Receiver is
turned on, it has a de lib er ate ly
slow and smooth volume ramp
from silence, up to the level that
was set when the unit was last
turned off. It can also be set to
