    10 programming the system setting each zone’s initial volume level (and maximum level) when you have the system running, you will likely wish to tailor each room’s initial volume level (the level to which it first turns on). You can also set the maximum volume of the amplifier at this point. Note: t...

    13 adjusting zone volume and muting: • press the rc-16’s volume-up/down buttons, and release at desired volume level. Note: this will automatically place the remote in a/v mode. • press the rc-16’s mute button -- the zone volume lowers to the programmed mute-volume-level for the zone. Pressing mute ...

    23 note: min-vol and max-vol should be set before setting mute-volume. Mute always acts upon both l&r channels, even though l&r volume levels may differ; balance is preserved when zone is unmuted. Mute-vol is a ceiling, not an absolute level. If mute-vol set above min-vol, zone volume levels may go ...
