reach either end of the volume range, you will still be able to
rotate the knob but the volume will stop changing.
The volume is alterable from (very low) to
( loud). The Volume level appears in the display. If you go
below -90dB the 8000AP will mute and the word MUTE will
appear in the display.
The 8000AP remembers the volume when put into
Standby and returns to this volume when next switched on. If

on at a level of -20dB. This eliminates surprises caused by a
high previous volume setting.

front panel or the mute key on the remote control. To restore
the volume press MUTE again.
