Yamaha HTR-6160 User Manual

Use this menu to manually adjust the various volume 
settings.

Adaptive dynamic range control 
ADAPTIVE DRC
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 MENU” 
(see page 91).

• 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 (see page 52).

ADAPTIVE DSP LEVEL

Use this feature to make fine adjustments of the DSP 
effect level (see page 73) automatically in conjunction 
with the volume level. 

Even if you set “ADAPTIVE DSP LEVEL” to “AUTO”, this unit 
does not change but the fine-tunes the specified value of “DSP 
LEVEL” (see page 73).

MUTE TYPE

Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function 
reduces the output volume (see page 45).

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 –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when “MAX 
VOL.” 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

• 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 “ZONE SET” to set the initial volume 

level in Zone 2.

INIT. VOL.

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

The “MAX VOL.” setting takes priority over the initial volume 
setting. 

AUTO

Adjusts the dynamic range automatically.

Does not adjust the dynamic range automatically.
