Using the G65
Digital Surround
Controller
Adjusting the volume
The G65 Digital Surround Controller adjusts the volume
in precise steps of 1dB, where 9dB is equivalent to
doubling the loudness. The current volume setting is
displayed in dB on the front-panel display, and can be
varied in the range 1 to 99dB. When you first connect
power to the digital surround controller the volume is
set to 65, which is similar to the mid-way position of
the rotary volume control on a conventional preamplifier.
A setting of 87 corresponds to THX reference gain,
the level at which film soundtracks are mixed.
For normal to high level listening you should expect to
use volume levels in the range 60 to 90.
To change the volume
Turn the volume control, or press the red A or V
keys on the remote.
As you adjust the volume setting the display shows the
current volume level.
For example:
#$4RIFIELD

To mute the sound
Press the volume control, or press Mute on the
remote.

To restore the sound
