The available speaker channels differ depending on the setting 
of the speakers.
Use this menu to manually adjust the various volume 
settings.
Adaptive DRC (Adaptive dynamic range control)
Use this feature to adjust the dynamic range in 
conjunction with the volume level. This feature is useful 
when you are listening at lower volumes or at night. When 
“Adaptive DRC” is set to “Auto”, this unit controls the 
dynamic range as follows:
– If the VOLUME setting is low: the dynamic range is 
narrow
– If the VOLUME setting is high: the dynamic range 
is wide
y
• You can also adjust the dynamic range of the bitstream signal 
sources by using “Dynamic Range” in “Sound” (page 96).
• This function is also useful for listening with your headphones.
The adaptive dynamic range control feature does not function 
when this unit is in the PURE DIRECT mode (page 54).
Adaptive DSP Level (Adaptive DSP effect level)
Use this feature to make fine adjustments of the DSP 
effect level (page 85) automatically in conjunction with 
the volume level. 
Even if you set “Adaptive DSP Level” to “Auto”, this unit does 
not change but fine-tunes the specified value of “DSP Level” 
(page 85).
Max Volume (Maximum volume)
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 
–80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when “Max Volume” is set 
to –5.0 dB, the volume range becomes –80.0 dB to –5.0 dB.
Control range: –30.0 dB to +15.0 dB, +16.5 dB
Control step: 5.0 dB
Initial Volume (Initial volume)
Use this feature to set the volume level of the main zone 
when the power of this unit is turned on.
Choices: Off, Mute, –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB
Control step: 0.5 dB
• When this unit is in the auto setup procedure, the volume level 
is automatically set to 0 dB regardless of the current “Max 
Volume” setting.
• The “Max Volume” setting takes priority over the initial volume 
setting.
Muting Type (Muting type)
Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function 
reduces the output volume (page 44).
