The User Options Menu
The user options menu is where you can change many aspects of

Volume Options There are four volume-related preferences that can be set:
• Max volume

Mute level
The magnitude of volume reduction introduced by pressing the
mute key is user-definable in increments of 1 dB, from -3 to -50
decibels, as well as volume off (total muting). The factory preset is
for -20 dB.

the volume keys on the remote control.

volume button down.
