Adjusting the playback volume
When the Home screen is being displayed, use the OUTPUT
LEVEL (+/−) button on the left side panel to adjust the volume
of output through the built-in speaker or the /LINE OUT jack.
A volume level indicator will pull up at the bottom of the display.
When increasing the volume, this pop-up message might
appear: “INCREASE YOUR RISK OF HEARING DAMAGE .”
This warning appears when the volume is set above a level
recommended by the European Union (EU) to avoid hearing
damage (EU volume limit regulation).
Reconnecting headphones will reset the volume to its default
value.
NOTE
•
You can continue to adjust the volume even after the
pop-up message appears.
When you raise or lower the volume, the pop-up message
will disappear.
•
If the output level is set to
12
or higher and the unit
is restarted when headphones or another device are
connected to the
/LINE OUT
jack, the upper level will be
set to 12 after the unit restarts.
CAUTION
Listening at high volumes could cause hearing damage. If
the surroundings are noisy, the sound of playback might
seem quieter than it actually is.
Start playback of the audio and check the volume before
putting on headphones, for example.
