Your unit has four on-board amplified channels for directly driving speakers. There are 
also two low level channels (stereo) for supplying signal to an external amplifier, plus two 
mono channels for amplified subwoofer(s).

The audio outputs are organized in 3 zones. You can adjust balance, volume and volume 
limit settings independently for each zone. Adjustments to the bass and treble settings 
will alter all zones. Refer graphics below.

Master volume control

You can select which zones that shall be adjusted by the master volume control. When 
the audio bar is active, the volume in all selected zones will be altered when you 
increase/descrease the volume from the OP40 unit.
