where the Encoder Knob was turned to un-mute the unit, the volume setting will
have adjusted accordingly at the end of the ramp up.
Remote:
The unit can also be muted by pressing the Mute key on the Remote. Once
muted, the unit can be un-muted by pressing the Mute key again or by pressing
either the Raise or Lower keys.
