The Volume settings let you customize the action of the
N
0
5206 Volume and Mute functions.
Max Vol: This setting determines the maximum volume level
setting in 0.5dB increments between 40.0dB and 80.0dB. The
factory default maximum volume is 80.0dB. Set this value
to the volume slightly below where your speakers start to
distort audibly.
Mute: This setting lets you set the amount of output level
attenuation that occurs when the Mute button is engaged, in
0.5dB increments between –10dB and –80.0dB. The factory
default mute attenuation is –40dB.
Turn On: This control lets you set the initial volume upon
turn-on. Choose a turn-on volume level in 0.5dB increments
between 10.0dB and 60.0dB. The factory default setting is
40.0dB.
Last: When selected, sets the turn-on volume level to the
last used volume setting.
CAUTION: Setting the Turn On parameter to “Last” can
result in louder-than-expected power-up volume if the
N
O
5206 was set to a high volume level setting when last
powered down.
Taper: This setting lets you choose the desired taper for the
volume control from the following options:
Mode 1: The faster you rotate the volume knob, the more
quickly the volume will change. Slowly turning the knob
slows the rate the volume changes, allowing you to make
precise adjustments in the listening level.
Mode 2: Similar to Mode 1, with a “faster” response curve,
with more gain change for a similar range of knob travel.
Mode 3: When increasing the volume the volume
changes quickly through the low volume range, and
then decelerates in the higher range, for precision
adjustments. When decreasing the volume the control
works oppositely, changing quickly through the high
volume range and decelerating in the lower range.
