| DISPLAY CONFIGURATION | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| OPTION | Settings | Description | Default Setting |

The display brightness will (while out of standby) remain set to the specified brightness setting. |

| Display Content | Source and Volume
Volume Source Last Used |
If set to ‘Source and Volume’, both the currently selected source and the current volume setting will be displayed on the front panel.
If set to ‘Volume’, only the current volume setting will be displayed. If set to ‘Source’, only the current source setting will be displayed. If set to ‘Last Used’, the last setting (source or volume) to be adjusted will remain on the display. Note:The above settings are applicable only when the unit is out of standby, is not in display-sleep mode and is not being adjusted. |

| Display Timeout | 1 - 10 seconds | Determines how long, after an adjustment is made, before the display reverts to its ‘Display Content’ setting as detailed above. | 2 seconds |
| Sleep Display Delay | Delay in Minutes and Seconds
(0 seconds - 5 minutes) |
The time setting determines how long after the last command has been received that the display goes to sleep (where only 3 dots are visible on the display).

| Type | |||
| Volume Offset | -15 to +15 | Allows the volume level of each source input to be adjusted up or down, relative to the others. Allows you to equalise the volume across all sources. For example if a CD player and a radio tuner are connected, the CD player’s output volume may be louder than that of the tuner so this feature saves volume adjustment when switching between these sources.
Note:The volume difference will not be visible on the volume display – so when switching between offset sources, the volume display will not reflect the offset. |

| AUDIO CONFIGURATION | |||
| OPTION | Settings | Description | Default Setting |
| Volume Rate | 1/10 -
10/10 |
Allows you to adjust the rate at which the volume changes when the VOLUME – / + keys are held down. | 8/10 |
| Mute Rate | 1/10 -

| Headphone Offset | -15 to +15 | Allows the volume of the headphone output to be adjusted up or down, relative to the loudspeaker volume.
This option enables you to compensate for the different outputs of different headphone types. So after adjusting the offset, when headphones are connected or disconnected, the volume should not require adjusting. |
