We
therefore
advise you
to
remove
the

storm
or
longer absence
to

LCD-display (6).
LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT
The volume level
is
adjusted
by
the
rotational button VOLUME (9) located on
the
extreme
right. It
is
multi-
functional.
The
measure
of
the
volume change
is
dependent
on
the
speed with which
the
button
is
rotated.
If
turned
slowly
the
level change increases
in
steps
of
0.5
dB,
at medium speed
1.5
dB
and
at
fast
speed
4
dB.
The actual setting
is
shown
in

will
save
the
selected setting and
return
the
unit
to
its normal volume setting.
ADJUSTMENT
OF
SENSITIVITY/VOLUME
MATCHING
Not
all
signal sources
reproduce
equally loudly. This often leads
to
unpleasant jumps
in
the
volume.
To
pre-
vent this
the
A2 can regulate
the
input level.
To
achieve this every input has provision for
an
adjustment band
between - 6
dB
to
+ 6
dB.
If
this
is
not
sufficient
the
hi-level input AUX I (16) offers
the
possibility
of
redu-
cing
the
level
by
a further 6
dB.
For
the
best
tonal results please
connect
your
CD
player
or
converter, with
an
output
voltage
greater
than 3
V,
with
the
AUX I input (16).This
does
not
apply
to
AVM
equipment.
After a
short
press
of
the
button
LEVEL
(7)
the
sensitivity
of
the
selected input can be
set
with
the
adjust-
ment
button VOLUME (9).The actual setting
is
shown
as
a bar
in
the
display (6).
