It is important to realise that the

volume indication on the display

may not an accurate indication of

the 'percentage' of the amplifi er

power in use. Your power amplifi er

may deliver its full power long

before the volume control reaches

its maximum position, particularly

when listening to 'loud' inputs,

such as CD's. In contrast, lower-

level inputs, such as tuners and

cassette decks, will sound quieter

for the same shown volume level.

To compensate for this (to make

all inputs the same 'loudness' for

a given value on the display), the

input levels of each source may

be adjusted. This is done using

the product confi guration menu,

described on page 8.
