Volume Control
Volume is controlled in two ways, there is the volume
up and down commands which will raise and lower
volume levels over a range with 40 values (0-40). You
can also do a volume direct command which enters a
value using the slider control. Much like a touch screen
with sliders, the numeric volume level, between 0 and
40, is jumped to as the slider is released.
Maximum Volume Level
The maximum volume level is set to prevent the room’s
volume from ever extending beyond the maximum
volume level. To set this level, simply position the slider
at the desired position.
Mute Commands
Again, there are two options for mute. The mute on
command engages mute, while the unmute command
returns sound. Repeated pressing of the toggle but-
ton will switch between mute and unmute.
Volume Presets
There are four volume presets. To store a preset for a specific volume level, set the volume to
that level and then press either one of the four volume preset store buttons. To recall a
volume preset, press the corresponding recall button. Volume preset number 1 is recalled
when the zone turns on providing that the zone is set to turn on with recall 1.
Zone Turn On Settings
When a zone turns on, it can be programmed to ei-
ther turn on to its last used state or to a preset level.
To select the zone to turn on to a preset level, press
the turn-on w/recall 1 button. At this time, all preset
number 1 settings will be recalled when the zone turns
on, including volume, balance, bass, treble and loud-
ness and stereo enhancement filter settings.
Channel Mixing Selector
While you most likely will never have the need to engage a setting
other than stereo, you do have option here to select a particular
channel to play through both right and left preamplifier outputs.
By selecting mono left, both right and left channels will only play
the source signal’s left input. By pressing mono right, both right
and left channels will only play the source signal’s right channel
information. Again, this feature can best be described as useful
when listening to program material with a specific language on
one channel and another language on the left channel. As this is a feature set that is not tied
to any preset, it will be important to return to the stereo setting if either mono setting has been
previously selected.
