Yamaha RX-V661 User Manual

MAX VOL.

Use this feature to set the maximum volume level in the 
main zone. This feature is useful to avoid the unexpected 
loud sound by mistake. For example, the original volume 
range is 16.5 dB to –80.0 dB. However, when “MAX 
VOL.” is set to –5.0 dB, the volume range becomes 
–5.0 dB to –80.0 dB.
Control range: 16.5 dB, 15.0 dB to –30.0 dB
Control step: 5.0 dB

• When this unit is in the auto setup procedure, the volume level 

is automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current “MAX 
VOL.” setting.

• The “MAX VOL.” setting takes priority over the “Initial 

Volume” setting. For example, if “INI VOL.” is set to –20.0 dB 
and “MAX VOL.” is set to –30.0 dB, the volume level is 
automatically set to –30.0 dB when you turn on the power of 
this unit next time.

• Use “MAX VOL.” in “ZONE2 SET” to set the initial volume 

level in Zone 2 (see page 83).
