Balance Right -
(available from the
remote only) Shifts balance right in
0.5dB increments and reduces the
volume in the opposite channel
equally. Balance level is visible on
the right side of the display.
MUTE
- When coming out of Standby
the PRe6 starts in Soft Mute. This
volume level can be adjusted in
Configuration (of) Inputs. (This Soft
mute level is shown as the number
of decibels below the current listen-
ing level.) Pressing
MUTE
will first
soft mute the unit. The volume quick-
ly ramps down to the preset soft
mute level and “
SOFT
” appears on
the right side of the display. The vol-
ume can be lowered while in soft
mute and then taken out of soft mute
at the desired listening level. After 3
seconds from pressing
MUTE
(after
the display dims), pressing
MUTE
again will bring the PRe6 out of Soft
mute. Pressing
MUTE
twice within 3
seconds (before the display dims)
will fully mute the unit. The volume
quickly ramps down and “
MUTE
”
appears on the right side of the dis-
play. The listening level can again be
lowered while muted and then taken
out of mute at the desired level. Mute
shuts off the audio output. Coming
out of either mute mode, the volume
quickly ramps back up to the dis-
played level.
