The Mute button will toggle you back and forth between the “Normal”
playback level and a level which is as many decibels below that level
as you have elected to use as your Mute function. However, if you
adjust the volume with either the output control knob or the remote
control while in the Mute mode, the preamplifier will adjust its volume
from the muted volume and disengage the Mute function. This design
guards against unexpected, large increases in volume which might
cause inadvertent damage to your loudspeakers.

The Nº38 also allows a “maximum volume setting” to be established.
Using this feature, it now becomes possible to “lock out” volume
settings above a certain point in the preamplifier’s range.

In systems that have highly sensitive loudspeakers, the available +18.9
dB of gain may allow the system to be driven to dangerously loud
levels. Alternatively, the presence of children in the home may lead
the owner of the system to desire some restriction on how loudly it can
be played.
