Determine which room or speaker pair you want to be the loudest, then turn the 
volume control fully clockwise to the maximum position. If all zones are to be the 
same volume level, set all volume controls to the maximum level.

Set the volume control on the amplifier to the minimum level. 

23.

 

Plug in and power on the amplifier. 

24.

 

Start audio playback, then slowly increase the volume control on the amplifier until 
the volume level in the selected room(s) are at the maximum level you will want 
with no distortion. If distortion can be heard, reduce the volume level until 
distortion can no longer be heard. 

25.

 

Leave the volume control on the amplifier at the set position, then use the 
individual zone volume controls to set the volume in each zone to a comfortable 
listening level.
