The volume can be adjusted within the range of
–70 to 0 to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB. However, when
the channel level is set as described on page 12 or
page 24, if the volume for any channel is set at +1
dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to
18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume
adjustment range is "18 dB — (Maximum value of
channel level)".)

• Noise will be output if DTS-compatible CDs or LDs
are played in the "ANALOG" or "PCM" mode.
When playing DTS-compatible sources, be sure to
connect the source component to the digital input
jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) and set the input mode to
"DTS".
