Yamaha RX-Z11 User Guide

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. 

For example, if “Initial Volume” is set to –20.0 dB and “Max Volume” 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.

Muting Type (Muting type)
Use this feature to adjust how much the mute function reduces the 
output volume (see page 56).

Use this menu to adjust the sound parameters.

■ LFE Level (Low-frequency effect level)

Use this feature to adjust the output level of the 
LFE (low-frequency effect) channel according to the capacity of 
your subwoofer or headphones. The LFE channel carries low-
frequency special effects which are only added to certain scenes. 
This setting is effective only when this unit decodes bitstream 
signals.
Control range: –20.0 to 0.0 dB
Control step: 1.0 dB

Speakers (Speaker low-frequency effect level)
Select to adjust the speaker LFE level.
