Split Volume

Volume is set to 0, which results in all Zones having the same volume. When set to a positive
number, the volume for the right hand Zone(s) is decreased. When set to a negative number,
the volume for the left hand Zone(s) is decreased. To set the Split Volume, use the Alpha
Wheel, or – & + buttons. Split Volume can be set to any number between -127 and 127.
Pressing the Value Jump button pair (– & +) resets the volume to 0.
