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 TGIII 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 come up
to a preset volume you can select,
rather than the previous volume.

a non-latching mo men tary button.
If you press ZONE TWO fi rst, it

Main Zone is off).

the inputs have similar volumes.
Each input can also be set to
enter a desired surround mode
