Turn On Volume & Favorite Volume

 

 

Turn On Volume 

You may wish your 200 Pre to come on to the same volume setting every time it is turned on. This can be 
particularly useful if you sometimes listen at high volume levels and you want to avoid a blast of sound the 
next time you turn it on.  Or you may have a preferred listening level.  To set the Turn On volume setting 
follow these steps:

 

 

Setting the Turn On Volume: 

 

1)  Adjust the volume to the level you wish to program 
2)  Press the “Set” button 
3)  Press the Power “On” button 

 

Now every time the 200 Pre is turned on the volume will automatically be set to the 
level you have programmed.   

 
 

Cancel the Turn On Volume Feature (Use Last Volume) 

You may wish to cancel the “Turn On Volume” feature.  In this case, when the 200 Pre turns on the volume 
will be at the same level as when it was turned off. Follow these steps to have the 200 Pre turn on to the 
level it was last used at: 
 

Cancel the Turn On Volume feature: 

 

1)  Press the “Set” button 
2)  Press the Power “Off” button 

 

     Now when the 200 Pre turns on the volume will be set to where it was last used.

 

 
 
Memorizing a Favorite Volume Level (Mem button) 

For your convenience, you can memorize your favorite listening level.  Once memorized you can easily 
jump to this listening level by pressing the “Vol Mem” button on the remote control.

 

 

Memorizing a favorite volume level: 

 

1)  Adjust the volume to the level you wish to be memorized    
2)  Press the “Set” button 
3)  Press the “Vol Mem” button 

 

You can now jump to your favorite listening level by pressing the Vol Mem button at any time.  This is 
different than the “Turn On Volume” you may have already set. 

 

 
Factory Reset 

 

Performing a factory reset will erase all user settings.  This includes input names, turn on volume memory, 
favorite volume memory and input level offsets.  

 

 

Factory Reset procedure: 

 

1)  Unplug the AC power cord 
2)  Press and hold the front panel Power button 
3)  Plug back in the AC power cord [display will indicate user memory has been reset] 
4)  Release the front panel Power button
